E-MUSIKGRUPPE LUX OHR‘s long-awaited studio album, entitled Kometenbahn, is a compilation of six original sonic pieces that mirror both hemispheres of the band. While E-MUSIKGRUPPE LUX OHR‘s quest for cosmic experiences is proudly inspired by German kosmische musik of the 1970s, the band also boldly pursues to probe frontiers that have remained unchallenged for four decades. Kometenbahn is a journey into organic atmospheres, warm analogue timbres, and melodic sequences that bring the sound of the pioneers into the 21st century.
E-MUSIKGRUPPE LUX OHR has performed in various venues ranging from rock clubs to art museums, libraries and movie theaters. All music of E-MUSIKGRUPPE LUX OHR is made to be played live, and also many of the album tracks have evolved in live performances and jam sessions.
