Tech Talk: Ulrich Schnauss (Electronic Beats TV)

Electronic Beats TV takes a step into Ulrich Schnauss’s layered and synth-laden production world on this Slices Tech Talk. As a solo artist, a new addition to Tangerine Dream and a contributor to many collaborative projects, Ulrich has released a number of albums on labels such as Domino, Scripted Realities and City Centre Offices, plus remixes for the likes of Depeche Mode, Howling Bells and Sia. An avid synth collector with a functional approach, he translates his emotions and atmosphere through the instruments at hand with a focus on personal expression rather than falling into the traps of the reputation certain instruments come with.

He's a genius, criminally underrated, far and away my favourite downtempo/ambient artist, gets nowhere near the acclaim that's due to him, Clear Day, On my own and Gone forever are classics.

Finally a studio that looks and feels like an painters atellier and not like a pharmacy store. Love it.

[thedigitalemotion]

This man, is quite probably the greatest living electronic artist to date. His music is so sonically beautiful that it uses frequencies that you'll need high end speakers to fully hear and appreciate. Listening to his music is a journey through euphoria that will change the way you think about music. Absolutely master of his craft.

[CiprianHanga]

I always loved his ethereal, melancholic soundscapes.

[IamBuffal]

Ulrich's music is some of the closest music to capture what I imagine the ethereal planes sound like. I hope one day he gets the recognition he deserves. So Talented.

[christopherwilkins]

Such an incredible talent. His music is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy. It's very healing. God Bless him.

[John-McAfee]

This man is brilliant. I love how well he explains his processes and methods in writing and mixing.

[augusttiner]

He is so underrated, I love his musical so much!

[digitalduch]

A Voyetra Eight and a Waldorf Wave in Red 😯extremely rare synthesizers!

[AScannerDarkly]

Always a pleasure watching Ulrich at work at Mission Control.

[R------R]

You know....this man has this 'sound'...understands it all. Just like Jarre, he cooks the ultimate meals in his kitchen...the overall taste is way above excellent.

Big fan of him lucky enough to have seen him twice live - once in Toronto and once in East London :)

[HOUSEWARMING]

He had me at the point I saw the Waldorf Wave. Jeez. What incredible arsenal!

[grantlawless]

For me improvisation is the key to creative music.But Ulrich Schnauss is far more than just improv. obviously.His knowledge or if you like feel of where to bring improvistion in and lock all the elements down is something otherworldly hence he is at so many levels of brilliance in all the areas necessary to make music this good, makes him for me a rare musical genius.I am a guitarist but his music resonates so much and is so good at activating emotion it transcends any particular genre of music as to make irrelevant the instruments that are used.It simply is at the very highest level.I do however like his collaborations equally as his stand alone efforts.Like so many others i feel fortunate to have discovered his genius.

Another Schnauss vid I’ve never seen - thank you so much for sharing 🙏

[ElDaumo]

i really like how his studio looks like a cave

[barachello]

I often wonder if a person that makes such an amazing music can be a bad person. Looks like that Ulrich have a good heart.

[Kkidzz]

Like a painter, you lay down one or two colours and that will instinctively lead you to the

His studio looks (to me more) like a cosmonaut explorer cabin
