  Apparat

  Apparat is a German electronic musician (Sascha Ring) living in Berlin who since 1999 has been running the Berlin based record label "Shitkatapult" together with T. Raumschmiere. Starting out with dance floor-oriented techno, he later started to create ambient music and recently became "more interested in designing sounds than beats". Recent music is closer to glitch or IDM, accompanied with classical string instruments and other sounds. He works with his own tool created in MAX/MSP framework. Effects are controlled by midicontroller. "While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass!" From Shitkatapult website He collaborated with Ellen Allien in 2003 on the album Berlinette, and again in 2006 on the album Orchestra of Bubbles.

  Joycut

  JOYCUT is a creative music outpost formed in Bologna, Italy_

  The project is named after the songs ‘Joey’ from Nick Drake’s Time of No Reply and the Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut_

  After some sonic exploration on early recordings, JOYCUT’s most distinct sounds of syncretic-suburban-rock and dark-eco-wave bore true fruit with the 2011 release “GhostTreesWhereToDisappear”_

  “PiecesOfUsWereLeftOnTheGround” took the band to new heights, evidenced by the album's continued success, with a never-ending tour of over 300 dates across North America, Asia and Europe, culminating in a Top 5 European Talent Exchange Programme [ETEP] position_

  With the digital mantra #JoyCutNeverStops the band visited 3 continents, 74 countries, 216 cities, 48 headlining concerts in the USA, 75 festivals_

  Following a scintillating TEDx talk and performance in Verona and inspired by their recent vivid tours in the East, JOYCUT made their debut at the Biennale di Venezia with their “Opera” in six acts K O M O R E B I: a soundtrack tribute to Japan_

  Komorebi is the “distinctive effect of sunlight as it filters through the thin gossamer leaves of trees”_

  The sold-out show was a combination of their dramatic music with visual art chapters that created a world to get lost in_

  Robert Smith has kindly invited JOYCUT to headline the Purcell Room on 15 June 2018 as part of his Meltdown festival in London_

  Their untaggable, mainly instrumental, music weaves a carpet of powerful sonic moments using electronic and orchestral breathings, cinematic saturations, tribal drumming and industrial percussion with found objects from the urban landscape_

  The band focus on the dichotomy between elemental/tribal drumming and synth/electronic work and through this disunion they paint imagery of the struggle between technology, nature and humankind_

  JOYCUT has a green philosophy and all of their production is 100% tied to a sustainable future. A future that they are already soundtracking_

  The new album TheBluWave [TimesWhenSilenceIsAPoem - TheIceHasMelted - AndBleedingGlaciersFormOurTears]_ is out June 5th, World Environment Day_
