OUGD505 - SB01 - New Age Music Research - Tangerine Dream


When lookign further into the origin of NAM, I came across some informaiton which seemed to be an staement about a huge turning point in NAM. Tangering Dream is en electronic music band, which founded in 1967 and are considered to be pioneers as well as playing an important role in the development of electronic music.


Tangerine Dream was founded by Edgar Froese. The band virtually replaced guitars and drums for synthisisers back in 1973 and since then they have develpoed sophisticated elecronic sounds that are wordless, atmospheric music that grows from the idea of rock but by no means follows the form of rock music.

The reason that Tangerine dream were considered pioneers in the New Age indistry will stem mostly from the fact that they experimented and created art with sinthisisers when the tools were very low key still in their early days. There work within the world of dreamy electronic music created feelings in ither people and inspired more people to also create using the same tools that Tangerine Dream had created.
