Ohrwert has been the moniker for my dub excursions since 2006 and the focal point of my musical output for many years.
“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 “Trésor 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.
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 studio also offers high-fidelity sample libraries as a way to archive my collection of drum computers, and synthesizers.
