About

Ohrwert has been the moniker for my dub excursions since 2006 and the focal point of my musical output for many years. I have been doing hardware live shows since 2008 but minimized the setup over the years. I still incorporate hardware in my shows, but not as much due to logistics and vulnerability of vintage equipment.

“Ohrwert” has been registered as a business since 2013 at the Chamber of Commerce in Arnhem, the Netherlands under number 57557209 with EU-VAT ID NL001863977B42, and is also trading as “Arjen Schat” and “TrĂ©sor D’argent”.

I have been releasing live ambient and sequential music as Arjen Schat since 2006 as well. Though most of the releases are influenced by the Berlin-school of electronic music, some albums include meditative drones and deep electronic soundscapes. I demonstrate a lot of the techniques I use on my YouTube channel, besides uploading studio performances and video clips.

A Minute Of Arc is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of one degree, this relates to the surgical precision of the arrangements and meticulous sound design I put in this music. Electronic at heart, it covers a variety of genres with a close connection to idm and electro.

SiO2 is my current studio and is credited on most recordings since 2016. The name derives from the chemical formula of the name of the street we live on, which is named after a form of quartz.
