Michael Rother
(MUSIC) As guitar heroes go, Germany’s Michael Rother is neither flashy nor inquisitive about virtuosity for its personal sake. Quite, his radiantly minimalist assault for the influential bands Kraftwerk, Neu!, and Harmonia and for a 48-year solo run has succeeded by understatement and precision. With Neu!, Rother excelled at each pastoral tranquility and proto-industrial grind, whereas displaying an uncanny knack for hypnotic riffs. In Harmonia, he deftly positioned luminous arcs of fuzz and klang into Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius’s monumental digital buildings. Rother’s solo works have skewed towards extra pastel tones and majestic melodies, attaining a distinctly northern European stateliness. This tour—which might be your final likelihood to catch the legend stay—will give attention to highlights from many phases of Rother’s illustrious profession. If you happen to care in any respect about krautrock (a time period Rother dislikes, btw), this present is crucial. (Neptune Theatre, 7:30 pm, all ages) DAVE SEGAL
