Ulrich Schnauss (born 1977 in Kiel) is a German electronic musician and producer based in London, England. 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
