Schneider co-founded Kraftwerk with Ralf Hütter in 1970 and remained a central member for nearly four decades. Working from the group’s Kling Klang studio in Düsseldorf, Kraftwerk developed an electronic sound and carefully controlled visual identity that proved highly influential on subsequent electronic music and pop. Schneider’s experimentation with synthesized and electronically processed voices was particularly important to the group’s work, while albums including Autobahn, Radio-Activity, and Trans-Europe Express helped establish Kraftwerk’s international reputation.
