From elegiac techno to deep orchestral pop ballads, Apparat‘s work has always had a common denominator: an elegance that embraces, offering nuanced layers of detail and beauty.

Whether as a member of Moderat (his project with Modeselektor members Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary), working alongside Ellen Allien (Orchestra of Bubbles) or as a solo performer, Apparat seeks to transcend the dance floor and the concert hall alike, focussing on the micro to enhance the macro with melodies that echo in the memory.

In recent years, Apparat has been working in cinema, TV and theatre production – gaining recognition and awards for work such as Capri – Revolution (dir. Mario Martone, 2018), which won Best Soundtrack at the Venice Film Festival. A box set collating these works, Soundtracks, was released on Mute in 2020.

His newest studio recording A Hum of Maybe (2026), is a complex and deeply personal album. Ring elegantly combines the perspectives of an electronic producer and a classical composer with a work that is detailed, finely crafted, and wonderfully unpredictable, rich in melodies, textures, free forms, and modulations.
