Kreidler

Early in 1994 Kreidler was founded by Thomas Klein, Andreas Reihse, Detlef Weinrich and Stefan Schneider on bass guitar who was to leave Kreidler some years later in order to form To Rococo Rot; his place was taken by Alex Paulick (now of Coloma) up until 2001.

Kreidler’s album Riva was released 1994 on a small Parisian label. This was to be the first of 16 releases to date, with the latest Eve Future Recall (2004). Followed by the score for the movie Durchfahrtsland in 2006.

Among the artists to have been remixed by Kreidler are such venerable names as Faust, Einstürzende Neubauten, Depeche Mode, and Appliance. Their musical collaborations include Add (N) to X, Young Gods, Momus, Leo Garcia, Theo Altenberg, Pyrolator, or Chicks on Speed.

Kreidler have played over 300 shows throughout Europe, Asia and North America. In techno clubs and concert halls. At the Sonar and Roskilde festivals. In museums and art galleries. At the Van Dijk retrospective in Antwerp and the openings of Andreas Gursky in New York’s Museum of Modern Art and in the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Commissioned by Goethe Institut they went on a concert tour in Southeast Asia.

Kreidler contributed to catalogues such as Deutsch - Young German Photography, Toit du Monde, and Romantik.

Kreidler are regulary guests at video art festivals; their clips were screened e.g. in Barcelona, Valencia, Baden-Baden, and Munich. Au-Pair won a prize for 2nd place at the 1999 video awards of Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, with La Casa reaching the final round of the MuVi Awards in 2002.

Kreidler’s music has graced the catwalks e.g. of Chanel, Lacoste, or at the London Fashion Week of Giles Deacon. It is used in films, theatre-plays or in modern dance productions e.g. Pina Bausch’s Ten Chi. For Alexandra Sell’s acclaimed movie Durchfahrtsland/Remote Area/Terre de Transit Kreidler composed about 40 minutes of music.
