A Hum Of Maybe
Apparat
RELEASE DATE: 20 February 2026
LABEL : Mute
FORMAT:
Indies exclusive turquoise vinyl

Six years after his Grammy-nominated 'LP5', Sascha Ring - aka Apparat - takes a bold dive into the complexities of life with his sixth studio album.
'A Hum Of Maybe' is detailed, finely crafted, and wonderfully unpredictable. At its core, the record is about love - for himself, his wife, and his daughter - and holding onto it, protecting it, and constantly recalibrating as it is in a constant state of flux. As the title suggests, the songs explore being stuck in between: not a clear yes or no, but 'A Hum Of Maybe'.
Ring elegantly combines the perspectives of an electronic producer and a classical composer, working closely with long-time collaborators Philipp Johann Thimm (cello, piano, guitar) - who also co-wrote and co-produced the record - Christoph “Mäckie” Hamann (violin, keyboard, bass), Jörg Wähner (drums), and Christian Kohlhaas (trombone). The album also features Armenian-American artist KÁRYYN - Apparat’s Mute labelmate - on ‘Tilth’, and Berlin-and Rome-based musician Jan-Philipp Lorenz (aka Bi Disc) on ‘Pieces, Falling’.
'A Hum Of Maybe' is complex, deeply personal, and embraces a state of limbo, marking an exciting new chapter for Apparat.
