Schiller is the main project of Christopher von Deylen, a German electronic music composer who produces music which can be considered trance and ambient. Since he himself does not sing on his tracks, he often collaborates with other famous singers in the electronic genre, such as Peter Heppner, Kim Sanders, Maya Saban, miLù, Sarah Brightman, Moya Brennan, Despina Vandi, Xavier Naidoo, Helen Boulding, Alexander Veljanov and musicians like Mike Oldfield.
The name of the band is taken from one of von Deylen's heroes, Friedrich Schiller.
