Before IRMIN founded the now legendary German band CAN in 1968 he received a formal musical education and studied composition, piano, conducting and music ethnology.
Amongst others his teachers were Karlheinz Stockhausen and Ligeti. Between 1962 and 1969 he conducted numerous orchestras including his own compositions. During this period he also composed music for various film and theatre productions. Between 1969 and 1978 he worked exclusively with CAN (in 2003 they received the prestigious ECHO Award for the CAN life time achievement).
