Art is said to be multidisciplinary
"German artist Peter Frohmader appears to confirm this as he successfully works in two terrains: Music and Painting. In both fields, his artistic creativity has always been aimed at metaphysical, esoteric, cosmic concepts. As a composer, he has released about twenty albums under labels from Germany, Sweden and the United States. He has made music for television movies and documentaries, and composed soundtracks for some of the films by Swiss videoartist and a fellow painter H.R. Giger, well known as the creator of the background stage art in the film "Alien" who was awarded an Oscar. Precisely, Giger has on occasion claimed that he would have liked Frohmader to have composed the soundtrack for this movie. As a painter, his paintings are displayed at important exhibitions of fantasy art, and he makes commercial illustrations, such as book and record covers, postcards, and even posters; besides, of course, the covers for his own music albums. He sometimes combines painting and music in his video productions..."

NEKROPOLIS 23 PRESS
Nekropolis 23 celebrate music as "extemporaneous action" - collective improvisation. This is something known from Freejazz. But Peter Frohmader and his band speak the language of Rock. They don't care for unending, tentative, resultless experimentation. Booming bass riffs, stylish keyboards and percussive action leave no doubt about that - and yet these ingredients are combined with irritating harmonic and melodic liberties. One could perceive the resulting aural puzzles as bizarre, angular, psychedelic, even refreshing. In any case they force the audience to let go of familiar standards, to feel and experience the music ad-hoc - like the musicians themselves...

Peter Frohmader is one of the legends of Electronic Music and Krautrock. He creates mystical, sometimes dark music which is quite unique and not comparable to other artists. Some of his early material is characterized by the huge bass presence that likens his music to that of Magma and King Crimson, with a dark, aggressive electronic edge. During the 70's Frohmader was part of several groups, including Alpha Centauri, Electronic Delusion and Kanaan. In late 70's he formed the project "Nekropolis" that became an outlet for his own experiments in radical rock / electronic realms.
