Klaus Schulze ~ Linzer Stahlsinfonie

[Bonus DVD on 'Dig It']
The ‘Stahlsinfonie’ (Symphony in Steel) on the bonus DVD is a recording of my concert at the “Ars Electronica” in Linz, Austria, back in 1980. On September 8th I had opened this festival following an invitation of the ORF (Astrian Broadcasting Corporation). I have played in the big hall of the Brucknerhaus, and from the outside sounds were transmitted which were made by the steel workers of the steel works VOEST-ALPINE. But I wouldn’t want to use their sounds as a playback recording made beforehand – I wanted them to play live! The promoters made it work by using various telephone lines. Along the river Danube there were PA towers erected at a distance of two or three kilometres so really the entire city of Linz could listen to the music. At the end of the concert, the workers joined me on stage.---KS
