Extremely nice words from well-known people. Shows that Edgar was not only loved by his fans.

Bianca forwarded me the following words from PETER BAUMANN
(Edgar'sunshine-colleague, former member of TANGERINE DREAM in the seventies):

To Edgar,
From the moment we met in Berlin in 1971 it was clear to me that you were an extraordinary person. You never wasted any words, but when you said something it had a depth and richness I rarely encountered anywhere else. Edgar, you became my musical soul mate.
In one way or another your presence in my life has influenced and shaped everything I was involved in, both musically and philosophically. Your deep and calm power touched everyone as soon as they met you. Somehow you didn’t play by the normal rules, your music and your thinking where beyond the mundane, your mind was always focused beyond the ordinary. Edgar, your life and impact on others will be remembered and felt for decades to come.

I miss you dearly,
Peter

David Helpling:

Edgar Froese...so many musical gifts to the world. He may have left the Earth but he isn't gone...

Paul Ellis:

I am very sad to say that one of the truly great electronic music pioneers has shuffled off this mortal coil. R.I.P. Edgar Froese and thank you for all the wonderful music.

A wonderful tribute from Peter.

I'm not a member of Facebook, so I was wondering if Johannes or Chris have posted anything...?

Klaus Schulze:

Even if we have seen us just rarely during the last 45 years - since the days of early Tangerine Dream we went separate ways musically - I still remember old pal Edgar with a friendly, yes: warm-hearted feeling. The last chance encounter was backstage at the Loreley festival during a warm summer night in 2008, where we both had performed, independently.

I also remember some amusing moments, somewhere, at some time in the eighties or nineties, when we smilingly "came to terms" that T.D. will get the America market, and I will get the European :-) Yes, Edgar had also (often a dry) humour. Or, take this, from an interview with Edgar in a German music magazine in 2007: Froese: "Mit Klaus hatte ich sicher seit über zehn Jahren keinen Kontakt mehr, aber vielleicht treffe ich ihn eines Tages im Hospiz, wo wir uns dann die Schnabeltasse an den Kopf werfen und mit unseren Pampers-Einlagen Schlitten fahren wollen." Means: "With Klaus I had no contact for more than ten years, but when we're old one day, maybe I'll meet him in a hospice, where we will throw feeding cups to our heads, and toboggan on our own diapers." Yes, Eddie could be very cheerful, sometimes. We laughed a lot.

Hi,

From Pedro Sena -- just another surrealistic turnip out there!

...
I wanted to go outside
tp pick some flowers
...
a lot of folks
were crying
around a funny box
...
and these smells
were funny
...
mom gave me a doll
and told me to wait outside
...
what are they doing?
I asked
...
someone died
...
what's that?
they left us
and went away
...
where?
...
to heaven.

I watched a little
and in the window
over there
it was sunny outside
...
and I wanted to go there
...
mom let me go.

The door was slightly open
and I opened it some more
and it made a little noise
and an old lady looked at me
with an ugly face
...
but I wanted to go outside
...
so I ignored the old lady
and stepped out.

There were trees
there were birds
there were butterflies
...
and I ran with my arms open
...
weeeeeeeee ....
...
and I immediately lowered my voice
...
weeeeeeeee ....
and I fell on the ground
on the soft grass
and rolled and rolled
and I saw the birds
I saw the trees
I saw the grass
I saw the butterflies
...
and then
I stopped rolling
and watched the sky
...
all around
lots of things
flying
...
this was fun
...
As I turned
I saw some pretty flowers
and I got up
and went to gather a few
to bring them back
...
in the distance
I heard some music
...
momma said it was music
...
and it was alright
...
and as I picked the flowers
I got a few more flowers
and got closer to the house
...
I reached the door
opened it
and walked in
and gave momma the flowers
...
she smelled them
smiled a wee bit
looked at me
looked at the flowers
and then
she got up
and took the flowers
to that funny box
...
someone was almost closing it
and they stopped
and momma threw the flowers
in there
and the man finished
closing the box.

We all left that house
a minute later
and drove home
...
I could see the fields
I could see the flowers
I could see the birds
I could see the butterflies
...
in the distance
...
