INTO THE LIGHT

Martin Kälberer - INTO THE LIGHT
Electro Acoustic journey into the light
Grand piano, Fender Rhodes, handpan, percussion, voice, vibrandoneon, live loops and electronics - and one man on stage.

With Martin Kälberer, all these instruments merge into a single large body of sound. As if in a trance, he plays several instruments in succession or simultaneously, records them, plays others in addition, and thus builds up his floating and pulsating soundscapes.

His new record INTO THE LIGHT will initially be released in November 2025 as a "Limited Vinyl Edition" - with two tracks recorded directly onto vinyl using the direct-cut process.

The CD will then be available from January 30, with further new compositions, which Martin Kälberer will now also be presenting live on the "INTO THE LIGHT - TOUR".

The fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds will be more intense than ever. The rediscovery of some old analog synthesizers, which had been gathering dust in his sound archive for many years, has opened a new window into Martin Kälberer's sound cosmos. The shimmering, rich, often pulsating electronic sounds expand the soundscape like a new dimension, without being dominant or aggressive.

However, everything remains spontaneous and handmade, intuitive and spherical.

Music beyond all genres, touching and sometimes as if from another world.

Press reviews:
Martin Kälberer's concerts are an invitation to a (multi-)instrumental journey into the inner visual and sound worlds of the musician, in which silence has just as much a place as pulsating and rhythmic elements, "... a journey that could last forever ..." (Süddeutsche Zeitung).

"There are concerts where you don't dare to breathe: you don't want to disturb the almost unearthly, beautiful, pure sound coming from the stage - as with Martin Kälberer's performances. The musician beguiles his audience with unique soundscapes and is a symbol of the joy of making music." (Mittelbayrische Zeitung)
