During his formative years, Schnauss came to love a wide spectrum of music, ranging from My Bloody Valentine to Tangerine Dream, from Chapterhouse to early bleep and breakbeat tracks. There was not much opportunity to see his musical heroes in Kiel, so he moved to Berlin in 1996.
By that time Ulrich was already a prolific musician in such genres as ambient and drum and bass, with a variety of pseudonyms (most notably View to the Future and Ethereal 77). These earlier works soon caught the eye of Berlin electronica label CCO (City Centre Offices), who took him up.
Soon his submissions to CCO developed into Ulrich’s first album under his own name, entitled Far away Trains Passing By. It became an electronic classic; listeners were smitten with the lush instrumentation and the emotional impact of his elegant music.
Yet nothing could prepare his growing army of supporters for the next record, A Strangely Isolated Place, which slowly came together in 2001. The album truly displayed Ulrich's youthful indie influences and established his pedigree as an outstanding electronic composer. A Strangely Isolated Place has become one of those extraordinary and rare occurrences: a record that slowly grows in stature by virtue of its overriding ability to deliver more than the usual arid and academic treatises on the state of the synthesizer.
"When you've worked with computers and keyboards for a number of years, they become not so fascinating of themselves anymore," he said. "I gained in confidence after people began to discover Faraway Trains, and it hasn't really stopped since then. This time I decided not to compromise on what I wanted to do, with what I thought people might want me to do."
The result is an oddly retro-futurist record, which owes more to MBV's Loveless or Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack than Ulrich's computer-centric peers.
Since the release of both albums, Ulrich has been asked to work with and remix a host of artists including Mojave 3, Longview, Johannes Schmoelling, The Zephyrs, Robin Guthrie, A Shoreline Dream, Engineers and Lunz (Rodelius).
Goodbye, Ulrich Schnauss's third album, was released in 2007.

I have a son who is going to be his first year in two months and this will be a perfect song to edit a memory video of photos of him while the song is playing

I have a story I would like to share....
In 2009, I was going through a divorce and my heart was absolutely crushed. Since I was deeply in love for over 13 years, the news hit me with immeasurable pain I had ever suffered. With two very young children in the middle of it all. I was at the lowest point of my life and ready to give up on love and trust and everything. I was upset, lost, confused, angry all at the same time.
Months before the divorce, I had just purchased a fantastic double compilation CD called Chillin' at the Playboy Mansion (mixed set by Chris Coco).
One night, about a week after the divorce I listened to the album on my ipod and went for a walk.
This track "Knuddelmaus" came on and it put me into a kind of trance. Hard to explain, but it was like it pushed the dark clouds away. I went from feeling wounded, lost, insecure to an almost freeing state. This track had some real magic to it.
It uplifted my spirits and gave me hope, and helped me process my feelings. I continued listening to it for many years and after reflection, I have come to realize it was a very big part of my healing.
So, Thank you Thank you Thank you Ulrich Schnauss for producing such a magical track. Now 13 years later, with this song and time, I am feeling much better.
