Apparat / CAFe 2019

Sascha Ring, who works under the pseudonym Apparat, is a leading artist of German electronic music. Starting his career in techno dance music, he found his true voice in ambient, as he became “more interested in designing sounds than beats.” Along his solo projects, he is also a member of Moderat, a formation he established with Modeselektor, a techno duo.

Moderat was a big stage act, and “meant I could unburden Apparat from these aspirations. I don’t have to write big pop hymns here; I can just immerse myself in the details and the structures.”

With the 2013 Krieg und Frieden being Sascha Ring’s last major release, he had considerable time for immersion and maturing the material of the new record. Released in the spring of 2019, LP5 features cellist Philipp Thimm, as well as a trombone, trumpet, saxophone, harp, and double bass player.

An event jointly organized with Selected Sounds.
