Apparat

Apparat，柏林人Sascha Ring的化身.繼2003年的Duplex以及去年與同屬柏林電子音樂體系的才女Ellen Allien聯(lián)手制作的大受好評的Orchesta of Bubbles之后錄制的最新個人錄音室專輯.專輯以”墻”為標題并非劃清界限的意思，而是聚合各種音樂元素，讓它們在其中自由倘佯產(chǎn)生激情碰撞：弦樂與打擊樂器、搖滾吉他與細銳的合成器、重復循環(huán)的敲擊與強勁的鼓聲在一起作一場天地大交歡。Apparat認為這張新專輯既不是概念性作品也不是精選集，而是對自己過去兩年多來實踐的總結(jié)，十三首曲子是在七十多件創(chuàng)作中精挑細選加以完善而成，因此專輯中包容了更多的不同風格。實際上，這堵"墻"是對流行電音的嶄新詮釋與定義，Apparat展示了作為獨立電音領(lǐng)軍人物天才的一面，層次鮮明的Glitch/IDM與Techno及迷幻的Ambient無不均折射出他對電音的高度駕馭。
Apparat (aka Sascha Ring) co-founded the German imprint Shitkatapult with Marco Haas (aka T. Raumschmiere) in early 1999. However, it wasn't until two years later that he would release his full-length debut, Multifunktionsebene, which quickly caught the attention of IDM fans worldwide. Known for his prolific output, he quickly followed this up with Tttrial and Eror no less than six months later and another full-length, Duplex, shortly after that. A slew of remixes and collaborations would follow for a wide variety of artists both experimental and dancefloor-friendly. He released the double EP Silizium in 2005, which took Apparat in a decidedly different direction than his previous works. Most recently, he collaborated with Bpitch Control labelhead/DJ Ellen Allien on the full-length Orchestra of Bubbles, which was released in April of 2006.
