Starting out with dance floor-oriented techno, he later started to create ambient music and recently became "more interested in designing sounds than beats". Recent music is closer to glitch, clicks and cuts or IDM, accompanied with classical string instruments and other sounds. He works with his own tool created in MAX/MSP framework. Effects are controlled by midicontroller.

"While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass!" From Shitkatapult website

He collaborated with Ellen Allien in 2003 on the album Berlinette, and again in 2006 on the album Orchestra of Bubbles.

Apparat's fourth album,The Devil’s Walk released on 27 September 2011 through Mute Artists, began during a lengthy trip Apparat took in 2010 to Mexico, where he worked in a makeshift studio in the town of Sayulita.

Your House Is My World
Apparat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I said
Keep me out of your head
To wait it out
A thousand years
Didn't work

Still
You would house my world

Within yours

Still
You would house my world
Within yours

Scattered mind
Let me out
Wave goodbye

Still

You would house my world
Within yours

Overall Meaning

The song "Your House Is My World" by Apparat tells a story of a relationship where one person is deeply infatuated with the other to the point of wanting to be inside their mind and heart. The lyrics express the singer's desire to be kept inside their lover's mind and heart, despite their attempts to free themselves from these thoughts. The phrase "keep me out of your head" suggests that the singer understands the pain of obsessing over someone, but the line "still, you would house my world within yours" shows the intense need to be close to this person regardless of the consequences.

The repetition of the line "still, you would house my world within yours" is significant because it shows the singer's obsession, emphasizing the idea that they cannot escape their feelings. The scattered state of mind in the second verse shows the singer's frustration with their feelings, as they know they should move on but can't seem to. The final line "let me out, wave goodbye" suggests that the singer is coming to terms with the fact that they need to break free from this unhealthy relationship, but the knowledge that the other person will always have a hold on them remains.

Once I said
There was a time in the past when I expressed something

Keep me out of your head
I requested you to not think of me or have me in your thoughts

To wait it out
I hoped to give you time to forget about me

A thousand years
An exaggerated period of time used to suggest a very long time

Didn't work
My plan was not successful in achieving the desired outcome

Still
Despite the past, the situation remains the same in the present

You would house my world
You are my everything and I see my world in you

Within yours
You contain and encompass everything that I am

Scattered mind
I am experiencing confusion and lack of focus

Let me out
I want to be free from this state of mind

Wave goodbye
I am leaving this situation behind
