General info :
Konrad "Conny" Plank (3 May 1940, Hütschenhausen, West Germany – 5 December 1987, Cologne, West Germany (aged 47)) was a German record producer and musician.
He is known for his innovative work as a sound engineer and producer in Germany's krautrock and kosmische music scene in the 1970s.
Plank was involved in releases by Neu!, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, Ash Ra Tempel, Guru Guru, Kraan, and other German groups of the era.
He later produced for new wave acts such as D.A.F., Eurythmics, and Ultravox. As a billed performer, Plank also formed the group Moebius & Plank, releasing 5 studio albums between 1979 and 1986.

Plank got sick while touring South America with Dieter Moebius, Arno Steffen and Detlef Wiederhoeft performing music from Ludwig's Law. Some of Plank's last work, before his death in 1987 from laryngeal cancer in Cologne, was the recording of concerts on Eurythmics' Revenge tour, and samples used on the NED Synclavier on their Savage album.

After Plank's death on October 5, 1987, his wife Christa Fast continued the studio with their son, Stefan. At the beginning of 2006 she had to give up the studio due to illness and sell it in May 2006.
