KURT DAHLKE

 
Kurt Dahlke  (born 29 April 1958) is a German musician and record producer.  He is a founding member of record label/publishing company Ata Tak and has worked and still works in several bands.  Dahlke is also known as Pyrolator.  Several times he has been commissioned by the Goethe-Institut for workshops or concerts.  On stage Dahlke operates his computer/synthesizer hardware by the movement or the pressure of the hands, with Thunder and Lightning, two controllers built by Don Buchla.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Julie Jigsaw began a correspondence with Der Plan lead singer Moritz R. and got herself invited to Dusseldorf, where she stayed in the guest room at Ata Tak Records recording studios, downstairs from Der Plan bandmembers Kurt Dahlke (a/k/a Pyrolator) and Frank Fenstermacher. 
 
Julie Jigsaw was recognized as having a natural talent, and Kurt Dahlke introduced her to two friends of his, Frank Samba (drums) and Wietn Wito (bass), who became the other two members of Ja Ja Ja.
