Over the years, MusikFabrik has become one of the most respected and innovative ensembles in the world of contemporary classical music. The founding members of MusikFabrik were all graduates of the Cologne University of Music, and they shared a passion for exploring new and experimental music. They were inspired by the work of composers such as John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Morton Feldman, and they wanted to create a platform for the performance and promotion of this type of music.

They quickly gained a reputation for their innovative programming and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of classical music. They also began to commission new works from composers, which helped to establish them as a leading force in the world of contemporary classical music. One of the highlights of MusikFabrik's early years was their performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Klang" cycle. This is a massive work that consists of 21 pieces, each of which is dedicated to a different hour of the day. The cycle was written over a period of 25 years, and it is considered to be one of the most important works of contemporary classical music. MusikFabrik performed the entire cycle over the course of three days, and the performance was widely praised for its technical excellence and its commitment to the spirit of the work. In the years that followed, MusikFabrik continued to push the boundaries of classical music. They began to incorporate elements of theater and performance art into their performances, and they collaborated with artists from a wide range of disciplines.

MusikFabrik collaborated with Goebbels on several projects, including the opera "Landscape with Distant Relatives" and the music theater piece "Stifters Dinge."
