Ever wondered what those 4 Kraftwerk dudes are exactly doing behind their keyboards? Check this video!
A video on YouTube, filmed at the Amsterdam club Paradiso (back in 2015), is picking up steam again as it is being shared a lot lately. It shows Kraftwerk playing “Trans Europe Express” and more precisely zooms in on what the 4 Kraftwerkers are doing behind their keyboards. And that’s not exactly what many will think.
The current members of Kraftwerk are Ralf Hütter (the only remaining founding member when the band started in 1970), Fritz Hilpert (1989–present), Henning Schmitz (1991–present), Falk Grieffenhagen (2012–present). The latter is a live video technician and you’ll see some of his work below.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
