The album "Welcome To Dark Matter" is Ursula Reicher's reminder that "death is the most natural thing next to life." Reicher ventures deep into one of the greatest taboo subjects: death. Determined to transcend her own boundaries as well as those of others, the singer, pianist and composer insists on meeting the delicate space beyond our comfort zone with ease. As an artist who loves challenges, she together with her contemporary big band "The Globular Cluster" invites us to face the greatest test of all: Finding solace in the beauty and fragility of life, right alongside the melancholy of the great unknown.

Musically, the album explores the stages of grief when words alone are no longer enough. Inspired by the poetry of Masha Kalèko and the research of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, "Welcome To Dark Matter" is a fusion of influences from jazz, classical music, dark pop and rock. The music is dedicated to all those who are still on earth - the retarded.

RAUM is the latest live project by Martin Kälberer. The project is an immersive, three-dimensionally produced live concert, which was recorded on March 15 & 16, 2023 at the GROUNDLIFT studio in Stegen am Ammersee (Germany).

With this album, Martin Kälberer fulfills a long-cherished dream of making his music audible in three-dimensional space. With the help of immersive audio technologies such as Ambisonics and Dolby Atmos, the music achieves an unheard-of transparency and depth, so that the listener finds himself in the middle of the sound action. Martin Kälberer has composed new pieces especially for this program and also arranged previously unreleased titles for this new setting.

Piano sounds, various instruments from handpan, percussion, vibrandoneon, waterphone to synthesizer and the voice (partly multiple looped) float through the room and take the audience on an acoustic journey where you can immerse yourself completely in the sound. Gene Aichner's congenial visual projections enhance this two-hour experience even further.
