From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Franke (born April 6, 1953 in Berlin) was a member of the German electronic group Tangerine Dream with Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann from 1970 to 1988. He originally played drums, but began playing synthesizers as the group moved away from its psychedelic rock origins. Since his departure, he has founded the Sonic Images record label, the Earthtone New Age Music label and the Berlin Symphonic Film Orchestra, and produced a number of solo works. He moved to Los Angeles, California in 1991 to pursue film work. He also served as the composer for the science fiction television series Babylon 5, as well as composing the score of Tenchi Muyo! in Love.
