In 1966, as a student, Harald Grosskopf shared the stage at a beat festival with Rudolf Schenker, who later became world-famous as the Scorpions guitarist, but his life's path initially led the drummer and "electronic engineer" into the counterculture spheres of Kraut (The Kosmische Kuriere ) or prog rock (Wallenstein). In “Monsieur Séquenceur” Grosskopf relives important phases of Federal Republic music and counterculture history from the late 1960s to the present day. In his autobiography, Grosskopf tells in detail, dazzlingly and full of humor about his time in the so-called Berlin School (Ashra, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream), which earned him the nickname "Monsieur Séquenceur" for his ultra-precise drumming, and about his excursions in the Neue Deutsche Welle or from the world-famous jazz festival in Montreux, where he accompanied his admirers from the techno scene, Ralf Hildentaschen and Oliver Lieb. Grosskopf talks about tours around the world and also reports on his current artistic work.
