He became a key figure in the bands Ash Ra Tempel and other Kosmische Kuriere projects, collaborating with several notable artists. In 1976, he recorded his first album as the sole member of the band, titled New Age Of Earth, and repeated this approach in 1978 for live performances, incorporating other band members.
