Since the end of 2019, Ronny has been working with his new quartet Off The Record.

In spring 2022, the first album The Call will be released on Ronny’s own label Out Of The Shed.
As in other permanent ensembles Graupes, the compositions have been designed specifically for this ensemble and for this album, which consists of two longer suites and an Intermission – piece in between.
As one can already guess from the names of the pieces, it is about the confrontation with existence. To find the right way and to go it has been connected with countless obstacles since ancient times. The complicated times in which we currently live do not exactly contribute to simplifying this.
Therefore it is all the more important to face the above-mentioned confrontation with existence, and on the other hand to continue to do this, even if it should take 10000 years, undeterred.
The quartet Off The Record dedicates itself here in a musical way to the question of existence and accomplishes this on the one hand as a coherent body of sound, on the other hand individually related to each member.
The compositions have been formed through intensive pobe phases and it took about 1 1/2 years before the musical work was recorded in the studio.
