(India Times) If you're a fan of EDM, you've heard of him. One of the notable German musicians known globlally, Sascha Ring aka Apparat is coming to Indian shores for the first time, as a part of the the ongoing year of Germany in India.
He's often described as the missing link betweenSteve Reich and Radiohead. Having churned out four albums and two projects, his last album The Devil's Walk (2011) was a success. Excerpts from an interview:
You're often described as the missing link between Steve Reich and Radiohead. Describe your personal style of electronica music? When I started making music 15 years ago, electronic instruments were the easiest way of archieving what I wanted to do. I think during the years, I just discovered other ways of expressing myself. I grew up with techno, real instruments were not an option, and I just slowly discovered my love for acoustic sounds during the last 10 years. I love the music of both Steve Reich and Radiohead. Reich has always been using acoustic instruments but he did it with a really electronic approach. Thats why I like him. As for Radiohead, they started as a guitar band and got inspired by the IDM (Intelligence Dance Music) sound of electronic music in the 90s. I'm really in a good postion these days as I really don't feel there are any boundaries — I don't have to fit in a genre, don't have to be electronic or acoustic to please my fans so I can do whatever I want to and it feels good.
Where do you derive inspiration for your music? What are your songs about? A lot of ideas actually come when...
