Apparat (born June 27, 1978 in Quedlinburg ; actually Sascha Ring ) is a German techno and electronica musician.

Career

Ring took an early interest in techno. At the age of 16 he was already DJing at smaller underground parties in his home town of Saxony-Anhalt . After moving to Berlin in 1998, he started producing music himself and, according to his own words, was more interested in sounds than beats. At that time his music could be assigned to electro , clicks & cuts or IDM and was then increasingly enriched with classical instruments. His first LP multifunctional level (2001) was produced exclusively electronically. But already on the album Duplex (2003) he began to combine electronic sounds with classical instruments.

In 1999 he became a co-owner of the music label Shitkatapult . However, he later ended his active collaboration with this label because he wanted to concentrate more on his musical work.

Ring worked with Ellen Allien on two albums in 2003 and 2006 and appeared with John Peel in 2004, among others . The recordings were released in 2005 on the EP Silicium .

Together with Modeselektor he formed the music group Moderat , which released their first album in 2009. After four albums and a few singles, the group announced their split in 2017.

In 2011 he signed a contract with the British label Mute Artists . His album The Devil's Walk , released in the same year, entered the German album charts at number 54. In 2013, War and Peace, a soundtrack to Sebastian Hartmann 's theater production of the Tolstoy novel of the same name, was released for the Ruhr Festival in Recklinghausen in 2012.

Ring is also a multiple award-winning film music composer and his songs have been licensed for numerous films and series. The song Goodbye , which was created in collaboration with the artist Soap & Skin , served as the theme music for the Netflix series Dark , which was released in three seasons from 2017 to 2020, and was previously used in the fourth season of the US television series Breaking Bad .

His album LP5 , released in March 2019, was nominated for the Grammy "best Dance / Electronic Album".
