Walter Wegmüller (1937-2020) was a Swiss-Jenish artist who grew up in difficult circumstances in Bern. After training in Basel, Bern, Paris, and London, he began his artistic career. In addition to painting and sculptural works, Walter Wegmüller occupied himself with the entire spectrum of art. He gained widespread international attention, especially from 1974 onwards, with the publication of his Zigeuner Tarot. He was successful at countless exhibitions in Europe and overseas and was repeatedly awarded prizes and distinctions. However, he never forgot his origins as a Verding child and "Rome child from the Kalderasch tribe." In 1973, he released the album Tarot with an all-star band. Successful musicians such as Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching, Harald Grosskopf, Dieter Dierks, Hartmut Enke, Jürgen Dollase, and Walter Westrupp played in the band. It remained Walter Wegmüller's only foray into the world of music.

Recorded and mixed 1973. Transferred from the original analog tapes.

The music takes listeners on a mystical journey through the symbolism of tarot cards, combining experimental electronics, hypnotic rhythms, and esoteric narratives. Walter Wegmüller was not only an artist but also a mystic deeply involved in tarot lore; his unique vision shines throughout this ambitious project. Kosmische Kuriere / Cargo is renowned for pioneering releases that shaped the German electronic and progressive rock scene in the 1970s, supporting groundbreaking artists who pushed musical boundaries.
