Apparat – Hum Of Maybe [LP]

Description

Double vinyl LP pressing. Six years after his Grammy-nominated LP5, Sascha Ring – aka Apparat – takes a bold dive into the complexities of life with his sixth studio album. A Hum Of Maybe is detailed, finely crafted, and wonderfully unpredictable. At it’s core, the record is about love – for himself, his wife, and his daughter – and holding onto it, protecting it, and constantly recalibrating as it is in a constant state of flux. As the title suggests, the songs explore being stuck in between: not a clear yes or no, but A Hum Of Maybe. Ring elegantly combines the perspectives of an electronic producer and a classical composer, working closely with long-time collaborators Philipp Johann Thimm (cello, piano, guitar) – who also co-wrote and co-produced the record – Christoph “Mckie” Hamann (violin, keyboard, bass), Jrg Whner (drums), and Christian Kohlhaas (trombone). The album also features Armenian-American artist KARYYN – Apparat’s Mute labelmate – on ‘Tilth’, and Berlin-and Rome-based musician Jan- Philipp Lorenz (aka Bi Disc) on ‘Pieces, Falling’. A Hum Of Maybe is complex, deeply personal, and embraces a state of limbo, marking an exciting new chapter for Apparat.
