Tyndall, Nik

Nik Tyndall (real name: Jürgen 'Nik' Krehan, born 1963), is one of Germany's most versatile musician specializing in instrumental and electronic music.
Krehan met 1979 Rudolf "Rudi" Langer and both moved to West Berlin in 1980, they worked together until 1983. First recordings were released in 1980 at the Hamburg based electronic label Sky-Records. As of 1983 he took over the group name Tyndall as a personal artist's name and added his nickname Nik. As Nik Tyndall he published over 100 realeases till today also under different names (see list at the end...) and played live at the Frankfurt Synthesizerdays White Waves or under the pseudonym of Reiki). He excited with live concerts, including at the electronics days in Berlin in 1985, the fair "Synthimedia 1987, 1986 and 1987 Germany's biggest synthesizerfestival White Waves or Ars Electronica.
In addition to his solo albums he played other musical projects such as: Akiro Tenere, Chill Out Ocean Cut, Sleeping Bodies, Electronic Club Lounge, Grado Lagoon Project, Maschinensaal, Digital Nomads or Anuvida. Meanwhile, the election-Berlin has released over 100 albums, but stopped making music since a few years.

Lapre - Auferstehung

Artist: Lapre
P: 1983 / 84 / 2018

Rudolf Langer began his musical career as one half of Tyndall. The duo released four albums on Sky Records between 1979 and 1983 (all recently reissued on BureauB). By the time the two musicians reached the fourth album, they were barely on speaking terms, so each recorded one side of the LP on his own. The split from his former partner turned out to be a liberating experience for Rudolf Langer, both in a personal and artistic sense. As luck would have it, Langer was riding home one night with a colleague from work, Peter Preuß, and a tape machine was lying on the back seat of the car. It turned out that Preuß was also a musician, a guitarist in fact, and they decided to hook up for a jam session. The results were hugely promising and a plan was made to record together. What should they call the project? The answer was simple – take the first letters of their names. LAnger + PREuß = LAPRE. Done. They worked on track after track after track and produced two tapes over the next two years (“Tedan” in 1983 and “Flokati” in 1984), each numbering 30–50 copies, intended for sale at concerts. A 12 inch single on their own label (“Oeso”) followed later in 1984. Although guitar features on every track, LAPRE’s early recordings relate to the Berlin School, with their music, specifically their use of synthesizers, echoing the tradition of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze et al. LAPRE’s mix of analog synthesizers, acoustic guitars and drum computers saw the duo occupy a previously uncharted niche in electronic music. How wonderful to see these recordings being made available to a wider audience over thirty years later.

Lapre - Banzai (Elektronische Musik aus Berlin 1985 - 87)

Artist: Lapre
P: 1985 / 2020

Rudolf Langer (formerly of Tyndall) and Peter Preuß teamed up to create Lapre as a vehicle fortheir adventures in sonic experimentation. They set about capturing their nocturnal rehearsal room sessions on tape, Langer on synthesizer and Preuß on guitar. With the exception of a solitary single and a few extremely limited cassette runs, Lapre released no further material during their active phase. It was not until 2018 that their works became accessible to a wider audience, when Bureau B released the Auferstehung retrospective, drawing on tracks from 1983 to 1984. Banzai, the second collection of Lapre recordings, follows up by concentrating on their creative output from the years 1985 to 1987.

Nik Tyndall - Durch die Zeiten

Artist: Nik Tyndall
P: 1983 / 2018
Reissue from 1983. Having successfully released three albums, the Berlin-based electronic duo Tyndall fell out so badly with one another in 1983 that they ended up splitting the fourth album in two, taking a side each. Jürgen Krehan's half showcases his customarily nimble synth-pop, as well as several pieces influenced by classical music. Rudolf Langer launches into celestial revelry on the other side, underpinned here and there by a driving beat. Nevertheless: both sides sound unmistakeably like Tyndall. FIRST TIME ON CD!

Nik Tyndall - Lagoon

Artist: Nik Tyndall
P: 1990
Lagoon was German ambient composer Nik Tyndall's first (and only) release on the Hearts of Space label in 1990. Tyndall was originally a designer of sound units and amplifiers in the 1970s, and soon after delved into composing for electronic instruments. He released several ambient albums on the German label Sky during the 1980's. Like Tyndall's other works, Lagoon is rich with layers of organic sound that evoke water, windchimes, gongs, and gamelan to create the sensation of a floating paradise. The seven tracks flow smoothly into one another, creating a soothing tropical paradise.

Nik Tyndall - Musik zur Entspannung

Artist: Nik Tyndall
P: 1988
Travels through a wonderland of tone meadows. Nik Tyndall has the courage to put all else aside and reach a quietude inside himself and project this into his music: "When I make music it is for me a form of meditation than can, as long as the listener is receptive, carry over to others." Bewitching for the listener are the crystalline warm tone nuances with spacious melodic frames from which flow a comfort peacefulness out.

Nik Tyndall - Reflexionen

Artist: Nik Tyndall
P: 1982 / 2018
Reissue from 1982. The third Tyndall album is less experimental than the electronic duo's previous work Traumland. The songs, featuring vocoder vocals, are more clearly structured into verses and choruses, the arrangements more considered. Stylistically, "Reflexionen" is a mix of synth-pop and electronic Krautrock, at times not a million miles away from the early works of Andreas Dorau. FIRST TIME ON CD!
