Born in Berlin in 1934, he drifted through a series of unexpended jobs in the first place turning to euphony, later on collaborating with conceptual originative person Conrad Schnitzler in a series of experimental bands including Plus/Minus, Noises and the Human Being. In 1968, Roedelius and Schnitzler were among the co-founders of the Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a grouping of avant-garde artists from a diverseness of creative disciplines which immediate became one of the driving forces of the Berlin underpass scene; with Dieter Moebius, they formed Kluster in 1969, playing extended improvisational live dates throughout West Germany. Clump released their debut LP Klopfzeichen in 1970; in the wake of their third base album, 1971's Kluster und Eruption, Schnitzler exited to follow a solo career, and Roedelius and Moebius continued on as Cluster.
