RIP to the electronic music pioneer.

Florian Schneider-Esleben has died at the aged 73.

The German musician is best known as a co-founder of the legendary electronic group Kraftwerk alongside Ralf Hütter, which the duo started in 1970.

Schneider first learned to play the flute as a child; later he employed electronic elements and effects on the instrument that allowed him to play it like a bass, before creating an electronic version.

In a 1993 interview with Pascal Bussey, Schneider shared, “I had studied (the flute) seriously up to a certain level, then I found it boring; I looked for other things, I found that the flute was too limiting… Soon I bought a microphone, then loudspeakers, then an echo, then a synthesizer. Much later I threw the flute away; it was a sort of process.”

Though Kraftwerk is still active today, Schneider left the group in 2008.

At the time of writing, the cause of death is unknown.
