Berlin School

The Berlin School refers to a style of electronic music that originated in Berlin during the 1970s, characterized by hypnotic, immersive soundscapes created through the use of synthesizers, sequencers, and repeating patterns. It emphasizes slow-building, evolving textures that often evoke a sense of atmosphere and introspection. Pioneered by artists like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, this genre has influenced ambient, trance, and modern electronic music, focusing on mood and immersive listening experiences rather than traditional song structures. The Berlin School is celebrated for its innovative use of technology and its ability to evoke emotion through expansive, layered sound.
