Earthstar was an American electronic music ensemble active from 1977 to 1983, founded by Craig Wuest in Utica, New York. The group was known for their ambient and electronic compositions, drawing inspiration from the German "kosmische musik" scene. Their collaboration with renowned electronic musician Klaus Schulze led them to relocate to Germany, where they produced several albums that blended synthesizer-driven soundscapes with experimental textures. Earthstar's innovative approach contributed to the evolution of electronic music during that era. ([dennisrea.com](https://dennisrea.com/earthstar-1977-83?utm_source=openai))
