Apparat (DE)

In the organizer's words:

Six years after his Grammy-nominated album "LP5", Berlin-based producer, composer and performer Apparat - real name Sascha Ring - is back with a new chapter. His new work "A Hum Of Maybe" will be released in early 2026, accompanied by an extensive live tour with the full band line-up. Developed together with his long-time companion Philipp Johann Thimm, the album consistently continues APPARAT's unmistakable sound cosmos: floating modular textures, finely interwoven electronics and a haunting, fragile voice merge into a dense, emotional soundscape.

"This 'Maybe' is not a weakness, but a space in which things can grow," says Sascha Ring about the album's title. "and the 'Hum' is this subliminal vibration of possibility - not a clear yes or no, but the in-between where life takes place." This poetic in-between zone also characterizes the new pieces: Music as a searching movement, as an open process, as an invitation to endure ambivalence and discover beauty in it. Between melancholy and hope, intimacy and eruptive power, a sound unfolds that is both introspective and captivating.

Over the years, APPARAT has built up an international reputation for immersive, audiovisual live experiences. His concerts are far more than just musical performances - they are carefully composed total experiences of light, space and sound. Appearances at renowned festivals such as Sónar and Primavera Sound as well as a special performance at the Palais de la Découverte for ARTE Concert underline his international appeal. The last tour with a full band line-up took place in the early days of the pandemic - a time when live music almost fell silent. This makes the return to the stage all the more significant. In addition, APPARAT's music reached an audience of millions through acclaimed synchronizations, most notably with the theme song to the successful Netflix series Dark, whose hypnotic intensity attracted worldwide attention. After the acclaimed world tour with Moderat in 2022/23 and selected DJ sets, Sascha Ring now returns with a special live format: APPARAT presents "A Hum Of Maybe" for the first time in full length in carefully selected European venues, supplemented by selected pieces from his earlier work. For the audience in the Kulturzelt Kassel, this is an exclusive opportunity to experience new music in its most intense form: immediate, physically tangible and carried by a band that combines electronic precision with organic warmth.

The concert is unseated. (However, there are seats in the stands for early birds)
