The Redundant Rocker is Bernard Wöstheinrich's (synthesizer & percussion) solo project. Bernhard is known as the head of Centrozoon.
Bernhard creates a music that elegantly combines spontaneity and composition. The tracks rock, are soft and hard, passionate and scurille, and possibly because of these traits, the music is very catchy. The redundant rocker delivers an unrespectful and surprising sound somewhere in the field of "electronica", mixing "trance" and "space rock".
The result is a grumpy music of dense emotions that emerges from self-aware professionalism. The live-performance of The Redundant Rocker is characterized by improvisation. A basic musical structure is being augmented with lively progressions, added on the spot and in conjunction with the place and time of the performance. It is difficult to compare the redundant rocker, but some names come to mind, like Brian Eno, Richard Barbieri, Fat Boy Slim, Underworld or Future Sound of London.
Appealing food for people who dare!
