The multi instrumentalist Peter Frohmader is the founder and leader of Nekropolis (heavy, primitive & dark electronic rock group launched in the late 70's). 
Three major albums have been published under the name (Nekropolis, Nekropolis 2 & "le Culte des goules" in 1985). More in the vein of krautrock dark experimentations (with tape manipulations and doom bass 
sequences), "musik aus dem schattenreich Nekropolis" was released under the same name (1978-79). Nekropolis and Peter Frohmader solo projects are considered as leading experiences in the appreciation of 
complex modern electronica. Their synthetic, electronic textures and obvious tastes for free jazz, avant garde improvisations are linked to Heldon, Richard Pinhas, Magma.Frohmader was first deeply 
influenced by the "cosmic" electronic wave of 70's Berlin underground (Klaus Schulze and Ashra Tempel at the top). 
Found of paintings and drawings, his music also reproduces his mental, subconscious pictures and obsessions. He created his own laboratory "Nekropolis studio" in Munich. His first soloing extended 
electronic manifestations were "Orakel/Tiefe" (1983) "Ritual" (1987). Published in 1990, "Macrocosm" '3rd Millennium's Choice Vol. 1' is considered as a little classic with its deep ambient and almost 
gothic synth ambiences. He is accompanied by Stephan Manu (on violin) who is also a guest musician in "Ritual" and "Orakel/Tiefe". Released around the same period, "Eismeer" carries on Sci-Fi, menacing 
and creepy atmospheric synthesisers' explorations. "Cycle of Eternity" (1992) is a contemplative, spiritual journey throw electronic realms. Frohmader collaborated with Richard Pinhas (Heldon) in the 
massive and hypnotic "Fossile Culture" (1999). In his last works, Frohmader experiments accessible and floating ambient soundscapes closed to Brian Eno and late Cluster (Space Icon. 2002 : Transfiguration).
