JEROME FROESE

Jerome Froese biography
Jerome FROESE is an Berlin based electronic musician known most famously as the son of Edgar FROESE and a member of TANGERINE DREAM in the period from 1989 to 2006.

He was exposed to music via his father in various ways from his earliest days, one of them being featured on the album cover for TANGERINE DREAM's ATEM album in 1973 when he was two years old. Jerome started his musical career playing primarily guitars and keyboards and later on in the 80s started playing drums. His experience eventually featured him first time on a record on TANGERINE DREAM's 'Lily On The Beach Album' in 1989 on which he played the guitar on 'Radio City'. After the departure of Paul HASLINGER from the band, Jerome became a full member from the album 'Melrose', onward until 2006 when he pursued solo work and other personal projects like LOOM which he formed with another ex TANGERINE DREAM member Johannes SCHMOELLING.

Besides Berlin school sound, FROESE has been also influenced by other dance and electronic music which he also distributed under the name TDJ Rome and in his Dream Mixes series of TANGERINE DREAM albums which have more techno or house elements to them. Some of his work though he describes as guitartronica which can be recommended to fans of prog electronic genre or even the more relaxed ambient work of Robert FRIPP.
