APPARAT's emphasis is on broadening the horizons of brass instruments in the context of contemporary music and sound art. Apparat has tried out a wide variety of styles and approaches in the context of world premieres of solo and ensemble works. In recent years, the ensemble has presented programs at the rainy days festival of the Philharmonie Luxemburg, at the Berlin Academy of the Arts, and at the Klangwerkstatt Berlin festival. Apparat has also performed at many of Berlin's major contemporary music festivals, including Musikfest, MärzMusik, and Ultrasound.

ZEYNEP TORAMAN is a composer and scholar whose practice-based research explores the ways in which texts (in the broadest sense of this word) can interact with one another within the larger framework of musical compositions, by way of thinking of her own library as an archive, and enfolding autobiography, poetry, fiction and history within her works.

Past and recent collaborators include Lauren Cauley, ELISION Ensemble, Ensemble Linea, Quatuor Diotima, Distractfold Ensemble, Ensemble Adapter, Amie Weiss and Nicola Barbieri, Noam Bierstone, and the Wet Ink Ensemble. Her music has been performed at festivals such as as Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Summer Academy Schloss Solitude, IRCAM ManiFeste, and Wet Ink Large Ensemble Readings.
Paul HÜBNER is an interpreter, performer, composer and improviser who focuses on new and experimental music as a soloist and in different ensemble formations. Paul collaborates regularly with composers to contribute to new works for a wide body of (brass) instruments and explores new sounds worlds—acoustically, socially, in form and content—in his own compositions and improvisations. He thus premiered works by Adriana Hölszky, Georges Aperghis, Jagoda Szmytka, Julio Estrada, Michael Maierhof, George Lewis, and Oxana Omelchuk among others. His special dedication to the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen led to his appearance in the main role of Michael in the acclaimed production of THURSDAY from LIGHT at Theater Basel.
