Ulrich Schnauss (City Centre Offices, Pedigree Cuts) @ Electronic Groove Podcast #320
At once uplifting and otherworldly, the music of Ulrich Schnauss combines multilayered synthesizers with beats and ethereal vocals, serving as an aural escape route from the trappings of reality. As Schnauss explains, 'I've always used making and listening to music as a way to escape - putting on headphones is a great way to leave reality behind for a while, reminding yourself why it still makes sense to carry on.
Today, Schnauss expresses a renewed interest in more direct electronic sounds, and aims to substitute traditional verse-chorus-verse structures for more freeform atmospherics. Stripping back the orgiastic excess of multilayered instrumentation, Schnauss is currently working on an album which intends to celebrate the synthesizer - the long-time cornerstone of Schnauss's sound - as a musical instrument in its own right.
