DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Downbeat Electronica, Deep House & Experimental Grooves, Pressed on Turquoise Vinyl - Six years after his Grammy-nominated 'LP5', Sascha Ring - aka Apparat - takes a bold dive into the complexities of life with his sixth studio album.
'A Hum Of Maybe' is detailed, finely crafted, and wonderfully unpredictable. At its core, the record is about love - for himself, his wife, and his daughter - and holding onto it, protecting it, and constantly recalibrating as it is in a constant state of flux. As the title suggests, the songs explore being stuck in between: not a clear yes or no, but 'A Hum Of Maybe'.
Ring elegantly combines the perspectives of an electronic producer and a classical composer, working closely with long-time collaborators Philipp Johann Thimm (cello, piano, guitar) - who also co-wrote and co-produced the record - Christoph “Mäckie” Hamann (violin, keyboard, bass), Jörg Wähner (drums), and Christian Kohlhaas (trombone). The album also features Armenian-American artist KÁRYYN - Apparat’s Mute labelmate - on ‘Tilth’, and Berlin-and Rome-based musician Jan-Philipp Lorenz (aka Bi Disc) on ‘Pieces, Falling’.
'A Hum Of Maybe' is complex, deeply personal, and embraces a state of limbo, marking an exciting new chapter for Apparat.
Berlin-based Apparat aka Sascha Ring has spent the better part of a decade moving through IDM's cloistered spaces before edging towards structured song form. This latest album marks that pivot, folding vocals into his previously instrumental framework of tightly engineered electronics and glassy synth design. 'Glimmerine' and 'A Slow Collision' sketch clipped drum grids and luminous pads, precise to the point of sterility. 'Tilth (feat KARYYN)' fares better, her voice cutting through the polished mix with welcome abrasion. The highlight remains 'Pieces, Falling', where blippy pulses and ornate string swells intersect with genuine tension. Elsewhere, 'Hum Of Maybe' and 'Enough For Me' strain under earnest vocals. It's flawlessly executed and emotionally untethered.

Apparat is a German electronic musician (Sascha Ring) living in Berlin, Germany who since 1999 has been running the Berlin based record label "Shitkatapult" together with T.Raumschmiere. Starting out with dance floor-oriented techno, he later started to create ambient music and recently became "more interested in designing sounds than beats". Recent music is closer to glitch, clicks and cuts or IDM, accompanied with classical string instruments and other sounds. He works with his own tool created in MAX/MSP framework. Effects are controlled by midicontroller.
"While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass!" From Shitkatapult website
He collaborated with Ellen Allien in 2003 on the album Berlinette, and again in 2006 on the album Orchestra of Bubbles.
Apparat's fourth album,The Devil’s Walk released on 27 September 2011 through Mute Artists, began during a lengthy trip Apparat took in 2010 to Mexico, where he worked in a makeshift studio in the town of Sayulita.
