APPARAT – A Hum Of Maybe – 2LP – Black Vinyl [FEB 20]

2LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve with inner sleeves.

Six years after his Grammy-nominated LP5, Sascha Ring – aka Apparat – takes a bold dive into the complexities of life with hissixth studio album.

A Hum Of Maybe is detailed, finely crafted, and wonderfully unpredictable. At its 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-timecollaborators Philipp Johann Thimm (cello, piano, guitar) – who also co-wrote and co-produced the record – ChristophMckie Hamann (violin, keyboard, bass), Jrg Whner (drums), and Christian Kohlhaas (trombone). The album alsofeatures Armenian-American artist KRYYN – Apparats 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.
