That's what I always also say: when there's no music in the soul of the player there won't come music out of the instruments. No matter which instrument the person uses. It will always sound like dead stones. Most of the today's musicians think the secret is in a technic or style, but the secret is in the being.
Good interview; Ulrich makes a really good point at about 7:50 about how electronic music is no longer "fresh" or able to impress simply through novelty.
Years and years ago bought his first CD. And kinda got lost in the collection and totally forgot about it. When I was looking for something I found the Far away trains passing by Album by accident. God... so glad I found this little gem back !
Love Ulrich's music, so much soul and spirituality. I have most of his albums and enjoyed his gig in Manchester this year and look forward to more of his material in the future
As he joined Tangerine Dream in late 2014, presumably he was a member when this interview was done. I knew his records before he joined TD. Strangely, I'm not aware of him doing records after he left, in 2020. His production touch in evident in the TD Quantum Gate album. But I find that sound he favours a bit too overbearing and it can mask the absence of the development of a tune. The TD "Particles" EP was another he featured on. It has some remarkable qualities. It didn't get the Schnauss mix treatment and was better for it. The remake of Rubycon was far better than any of the other remakes TD did and maybe even improved on the original. And the new track Shadow & Sun was in a TD style that, I think, is the only tune that is attributed as a co-write of Schnauss & Froese only.
But you don't really need to spend hundreds of thousands of euro to make this music. Anyone can make it with software. It's just a lot more fun using the hardware.
One of my favourite artist
thanks for making this awesome interview with this awesome soul!

Häh
This guy's music is like a painting that, when you put your headphones on, be surrounded and pulled into.
I just discovered this artist in Spotify and became his fan instantly
This guy is a genious (at my sense...). I like his universe, his work, and use of synths... Excellent!!!

he is also mocking it too :D Such a genius.
Thanks for this video. I had never heard of this fantastic artist.

Have been a fan since hearing Faraway Trains in 2001. Thank you Ulrich!
Suddenly the Trees are Giving Way is a phenomenal track.
Unbelievably good.
I love ulrich schnauss
I do too my friend.
Me too! I love his music so much! 🥰❤️
Genius
Inspiring
Would be curious to hear about why he moved to the UK. Germany seems a lot more with his values these days.
Look at the interviewer like a kid in a candy store wiggling on that Oberheim 8 voice, unbelievable machine, and that Ulrich has one!
talk me to a hipper place than Hohemschöngrünkohl !

Where hi live?😬
He should include Jean Michel Jarre in some tracks
7:05 that tune all day

Blend of electronica and rock? Not really.
More like ambient.
From what I've heard he doesn't sound very interesting.
You're nuts.
