Rudiger Lorenz

Rüdiger Lorenz was a German pharmacist and synthesist, who was well-known for his massive collection of analog synthesizers, which he used to release over twenty albums over his lifetime—typically one every year. He is noted as one of the pioneers of the DIY music community, building many of his own synthesizers. Lorenz also created his own record label to distribute his music, Syncord Records, with many of the albums becoming collectors’ items in recent years.
