Rudolf Sosna (1946 – 10 November 1996) was a German guitarist, keyboardist, occasional singer and songwriter, best known as one of the founding members of the experimental rock group Faust. Jeremy Allen describes him as the band’s “half-Russian romantic” who brought a melancholic dimension to their sound.
