Apparat (DE)
German composer, and member of the Shitkatapult stable of artists-you may recall the electrifying spectacle by T. Raumschmiere at MUTEK 2003-Apparat is without a doubt one of the most open artists of his generation. A trained drummer, Sasha Ring aka Apparat's move long ago to Berlin coincided with the discovery of electronic, which permitted him to develop his potential to create sounds as disconcerting as they are varied: his current music is a delicate yet effective construction of 'treacherous' sounds assembled in complex fashion. Compared to more rhythmic productions, this flamboyant producer dares to venture among some very stimulating collaborations: Italian opera, more traditional rock-oriented creations, etc. To that effect, Apparat is an ever-changing artist who will present to MUTEK a stripped-down performance, armed only with the most peculiar weaponry: pure electronic compositions that will absorb you!
