Manuel Göttsching Has Died

German musician Manuel Göttsching has died.

The guitarist spearheaded influential German group Ash Ra Tempel, helping to blend progressive strands with the emerging Kosmische sounds in West Germany. A continual innovator, he worked with musicians from the Berlin School of Electronic Music, with his minimalist approach merging new technology, almost Reich-ian phrasing, and aspects of rock guitar into one seamless whole.
