Biografía
- This apparat is one with flexible functions, and its sound is as eclectic as its musical horizon is broad. Its emotional chip features an option on happiness and its sound waves are able to tear your heart apart.This apparat is one with flexible functions, and its sound is as eclectic as its musical horizon is broad. Its emotional chip features an option on happiness and its sound waves are able to tear your heart apart. While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass! He can also proudly refer to a John-Peel-Session and is sporadically working with Gianna Nannini on a Rock Opera. Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, regards his moving out of the east German provincial backwater to Berlin in 1997 as one of his best decisions ever made. Since 1999 he runs, together with T.Raumschmiere, the Berlin based record label "Shitkatapult" - a venturous music catapult that dashes a wild mixture of intentional great music onto the turntables of the world. Apparat is the bridge over the German gap of melancholic glitch between Manchester and Laptop-USA. His smart wiring of emotions produces a virtual musical reality, which is based upon different genres, depending on the surrounding of the "apparat". In his studio, dense, dark and majestic clouds of elegiac pop and heavy Electronica built up to a coherent and emotionally charged atmosphere. Live, on the other hand, the dance floor seems to be repelled to rave from the Bermuda Triangle with its axes Techno, IDM and Elektro. Those styles cannot necessarily be distinguished and heard on every of his releases, but since he started out with a much harder pace of electronic music in the early nineties, his influences are definitely Techno and Elektro as well. The intensity in Apparats tracks seems to grow with his own pleasure in experimenting. The charming breaking-up of the mechanical walkover of his Elektronica compositions first being subtle clicks and accidental "sound mistakes", this is now being done by veritable musicians and singers, by classical instruments like violin and cello, saxophone and clarinet, which are then masterly orchestrated by Apparat as the Maestro of his computer.̸Studio albums: LP5 (Mute, 2019) Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre) (Mute, 2013) The Devil's Walk (Mute, 2011) Walls (Shitkatapult, 2007) Duplex (Shitkatapult, 2003) Multifunktionsebene (Shitkatapult, 2001) Select EP and collaborations: Moderat - III (Monkeytown Records, 2016) Moderat - II (Monkeytown Records, 2013) Moderat - Moderat (BPitch Control, 2009) Ellen Allien and Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles (BPitch Control, 2006) Apparat - Berlin.Montreal.Telaviv Live Apparat - Silizium Ep Apparat - Can't Computerize It Ep Apparat - Shapemodes Ep Apparat - Duplex Remixes Ep Apparat - Duplex Cd/Lp Apparat - Koax Rmxs Ep Moderat / Auf Kosten Der Gesundheit Ep Apparat / Tttrial And Eror Minicd/Ep Apparat / Multifunktionsebene Cd/Lp Apparat / Algorhythm Ep Remixes: Ellen Allien - Trashscapes / BPitchcontrol Timtim - Atwater Ca / BPitchcontrol Hakan Lidbo - Clockwise / Shitkatapult Anders Ilar - Nine / Audio Nl Kero - Bent / Detundrec Nitrada - Fading Away / 2nd Rec.
