Ulrich Schnauss

Ulrich Schnauss (born 8 September 1977) is a German electronic musician and producer based in London, England. He was a member of Tangerine Dream from 2014 to 2020. Ulrich Schnauss was born in the northern German seaport of Kiel in 1977. He began taking piano lessons at the age of seven and later developed an interest in a wide range of music, including My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Tangerine Dream, Chapterhouse, and early bleep and breakbeat tracks. Because there were few opportunities to experience these influences in Kiel, he moved to Berlin in 1996. Schnauss’s early musical output appeared under the pseudonyms View to the Future and Ethereal 77. These electronica‑ and drum‑driven tracks caught the attention of the Berlin label City Centre Offices (CCO), to which he regularly sent demo CDs. He later developed these ideas into his first album under his own name, Far Away Trains Passing By, released in Europe in 2001 and in the United States in 2005. His next album, A Strangely Isolated Place (2003), showed the influence of My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields and Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie. Speaking about the album, Schnauss said: “When you’ve worked with computers and keyboards for a number of years, they become not so fascinating of themselves anymore. I gained confidence after people began to discover Far Away Trains Passing By, 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.”
