SOUND

Unremitting and inventive like no other protagonist of electronic music in Germany, Sascha Ring alias Apparat explores and modifi es the interrelationships between programmed sounds and analogue instruments. On his new album you can hear electronics, trombone, sax, harps, and contrabass, and occasionally also desolate improvised drumming. He elevates subtly chiselled crackling sounds and filigree cheeps to sublime grandeur. Harmonies coalesce and atomise and then come back together: an art of musical metamorphosis, of endless becoming.
