:.:: I-M-R ::.:

I-M-R is the continuation of the musical idea of IN MY ROSARY, a project which was formed in 1992 and established itself as a constant within the worldwide darkwave / alternative scene shortly after its first CD release "Those Silent Years" (1993). In the beginning often labelled as "Dark Folk pioneer" - mainly because singer and composer Ralf Jesek also used acoustic guitars in his productions -, later on the press used the neologism "DarkWaveFolkPop" to describe this very unique mix of dark and new wave, electro, folk and pop elements.

After 19 years and 10 critically acclaimed albums, the time had come to enter a new phase. So far Ralf had recorded all productions on his own, but now he invited his longtime live guest musicians Martin von Arndt, Holger Diener and Hansi Huenig to join him also in the studio and to develop the artistic idea together with him in the future.

On the 15th of October 2011 this new constallation was officially born under the name I-M-R.

RALF JESEK : voice, instruments

Besides IN MY ROSARY Ralf was also singer and songwriter of the WavePop band DERRIÈRE LE MIROIR, which released five CDs between 1993 and 1997. In 1996 he and Martin were parts of the project GRIFFIN'S FALL that produced the album "A Medicine For Melancholy" (1997). In 2007 he also released the CD "Perfect Vacation" under the project name MARY'S COMIC. Moreover he did various remixes and e.g. worked together with the Russian darkwave band STILLIFE (CD "Destiny", 2008) and the British musician PAUL ROLAND.
