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 (whose last album More D4ta was released on Monkeytown in 2022), 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.

His last studio album LP5 (2019), finds greatness in small things and unexpected twists; it joins musical fragments together and glows from the cracks in between. Released on Mute, it was described as “…a kaleidoscopic triumph” by Q Magazine.

More recently, Apparat has been focused on 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.
