Apparat, aka Sascha Ring, has been busying himself with the production of 'Krieg & Frieden (Music For Theatre)', and album of music based on Sebastian Hartmann's theatre production of Tolstoy's 'War & Peace'.

Sebastian Hartmann, considered one of the big innovators of contemporary German theatre, asked Ring to contribute to this mammoth project, which was commissioned by the renowned German arts festival Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen.

Featuring artwork by Tilo Baumgärtel, whose work forms part of the theatre production, Krieg & Frieden was recorded with Philipp Timm (cello) and Christoph Hartmann (violin), who form part of Apparat’s live band.
