Ulrich Schnauss to play Hare & Hounds Birmingham

Birmingham Promoters bring electronic pioneer Ulrich Schnauss to Hare & Hounds Birmingham in March!

Ulrich Schnauss was born in the northern Germany fishing port, Kiel, in 1977. During his formative years he grew a love for a broad spectrum of music ranging from My Bloody Valentine to Tangerine Dream, Chapterhouse to early bleep & breakbeat tracks. He moved to Berlin in 1996, by which time, Ulrich’s musical output had already become prolific, with a variety of pseudonyms (most notably View to the Future and Ethereal 77) veering from techno to drum and bass via electronica.

His debut album under his real name established his pedigree as an outstanding electronic composer, but somehow he managed to take it further by developing his interest in songwriting for electronic music, born of his love for such giants of the independent world as My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields and Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie. From this humble conception came forth a second record of surprisingly rare emotional power, titled ‘A Strangely Isolated Place’.

Since the release of both albums Ulrich has been asked to work with and remix a host of artistes including: Mojave 3, Longview,Johannes Schmoelling, The Zephyrs, Lunz (Rodelius), etc. New album ʻA Long Way To Fallʼ is due out in the UK on January 21st 2013.

Ulrich will be accompanied on stage by London-based visual performance artist Nat Urazmetova.
