What is it?
A “Rampe” (literally, a ramp), in the internal language of the band, is an improvised live piece that happens on stage. There is also the option of a “gestützte Rampe” (a supported ramp), where there is some minimal agreement/indication ahead, for example that one person will start, or that the pace will be slow or fast.
In a normal concert set list, there is often the space for such a “Rampe”, where the band plays something completely new, improvised, and unrehearsed.
In this Phase, the band will take the Rampen that have been played on the last tour, to use them for ideas or inspiration, and to develop them into fully realized songs.
When is it?
The plan is to go into the studio starting in February 2023, and come out with a finished album by autumn.
