“Melodic melancholia.
The drums and arrangements may have evolved around it, but melody has always remained central to Sascha Ring’s craft. Cast an ear back to 2001’s Multifunktionsebene and it’s there wafting over the IDM-informed glitch; fast-forward to 2011’s Devil’s Walkand it’s leading delicate songs you could hear on the radio. In the time between these two full-lengths Ring became one of Germany’s preeminent electronic artists. 2006’s Orchestra of Bubbles alongside fellow Berliner Ellen Allien hit as interest in the sounds of the city were reaching fever pitch. A similarly Berlin-centric project was conceived in 2009 with the release of Moderat, Ring’s collaboration with Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Modeselektor. His live solo material had by this point taken on the form of a band, set-up to tour his crossover full-length Walls. The show was expanded upon for last year’s Devil’s Walk, Ring’s most introverted and traditionally structured offering yet.”
