LYRICS (Engl & Ger): The inside is sleeping .. for prepared piano, voice and other instruments

The inside is sleeping 
.. for prepared piano, voice and other instruments

Sophisticated
The alliance is broken
Sister Sinister is pregnant
And we have left the circus

These stars are liars
Vivid is the anchor
Holy mirror, broken time
The enemy is living and silence is a crime

No way back
The inside is sleeping
No way back
The universe is weeping
(
A subjunctive lives in-between )

The drink is poisoned
We are pioneers
The shadow might catch you
But we will always be enlightened

Where sleeps the alliance
This country smells like death
And I feel no pain
With the exception of my own

No way back
The inside is sleeping
No way back
The universe is weeping
(A subjunctive lives in-between )

Shadowland
There you are
I venture the descent
Fire in my chest

The time has come
Victorious acting
We buried the puzzle
With our bliss


The inside is sleeping
The admission of failure awakes
The universe dried
The tears of unreason






Das Innere schläft
..für präpariertes Klavier, Stimme und andere Instrumente

Anspruchsvoll
Die Allianz ist gebrochen
Schwester Unheilvoll ist schwanger
Und wir haben den Zirkus verlassen

Diese Sterne sind Lügner
Lebendig ist der Anker
Heiliger Spiegel, Gebrochene Zeit
Der Feind lebt und die Stille ist ein Verbrechen


Kein Weg zurück
Das Innere schläft
Kein Weg zurück
Das Universum weint
(Ein Konjunktiv lebt dazwischen)


Das Getränk ist vergiftet
Wir sind Pioniere
Der Schatten könnte euch einholen
Aber wir werden immer erleuchtet sein

Wo schläft der Allianz?
Dieses Land riecht nach Tod
Ich fühle keinen Schmerz
Mit Ausnahme meines eigenen


Kein Weg zurück
Das Innere schläft
Kein Weg zurück
Das Universum weint
(Ein Konjunktiv lebt dazwischen)


Schattenland
Da bist Du ja
Ich erlaube mir die Talfahrt
Feuer in meiner Brust

Die Zeit ist gekommen
Siegreiches Handeln
Wir begruben das Rätsel
Mit unserer Glückseligkeit


Das Innere schläft
Der Offenbahrungseid erwacht
Das Universum trocknet
Die Tränen der Unvernunft

NEWS (2 new solo albums and work with/for others)

Currently working on a new solo album
 (partly feat. Meike Degand on Theremin and additional sounds)This album should come out Winter 2017 on CD/Download worldwide

Also working on a free "Piano" album, which obviously features Piano pieces (mostly contemporary influenced). A few, but not many, pieces will also fet. other instruments and voices here and there.
This album will be for free and it will be available as a download on bandcamp.
Bandcamp offers FLac as  an option and piano music should be heard in best audio quality.

That's it so far

Ah, and of course I am also producing the albums for "Ralli Rock and the Moan of the Sky" where I am also a part of the band, but this is regular, classic rock music.

AS you know: I am not bound to just one genre.Life's too short for limitations, even if I may live forever.

OLD NEWS FROM THE HOMEPAGE

2015

Infinitus Ensemble - Scherbenschlaf (Sleep of Shards)
my experimental band with Mrs. Iri Li.



Finally this little jewell is available again.
ContraMusikProduktion has put out a final re-release, after the first edition has been sold out
(Originally released on Frequency Records in 2009)
The New and Last edition comes in real Wallpaper cover plus brand new prof. printed 8 pages booklet with lyrics and a nice print on CD itself.
VERY fairly priced here:
http://ContraMusikProduktion.de/releases.html

Some songs streamable at:
http://infinitusensemble.bandcamp.com/album/scherbenschlaf-sleep-of-shards





1)
I have recorded new material for a debut album with "Null Komma Null".
This is some really nice Underground Punky "Deutsch" Rock music with a big dirty Stoner Blues fist showing right into the face of reality.
The CD is coming in late December 2015 and Mr. Rock is playing some nice licks, too, I have heard.





2)
I have also been working with the two other boys from "Black Hole Raven"
(Dirty Heavy BLues Rock with both feet on the UnderGround with English lyrics) on the debut album.
Actually the songs have been recorded & mastered back in 2013/2014.
Unfortunately these guys are lame old suckers, so it still takes a while to get the Baby out.
In the meantime the band has written a lot of new songs who COULD make it on album nr. 2 or 3. 
Live shows were small but the applause was loud and somehow tasting of whisky.

3)
Beside that I have recorded a couple of new tracks for my solo projects, again more Rock stuff.
YOu should also give Mr. Ralli Rock and the Moan of the Sky a chance, if you are into classic non mainstream rock music
I keep you informed about it.

4)
I have also been mastering a couple of new releases for "The Inifinite Three", 
a UK band you should REALLY check out, if you are into  Post Punk/Rock and Post Industrial and a nice touch of Experimental Rock music

2013
Culture is not your friend has reviewd "Ralf Rabendorn - Exile"
Read it here:
http://cinyf.wordpress.com/reviews/ralf-rabendorn-exile/

"It’s only once in a long while that you come across an album that turns you upside down. 
I think that ‘Exile’, coming from the deep, dark and sincere place, allowing its creator, Ralf Rabendorn, to attempt and draw the listener into the desert of the real. Is it really real? I don’t know, but what I do know is that Ralf’s voice, together with the shattered, painful music, brings out menacing, even if majestic voices of reason that wear the unsettling sounds like a crown of thorns and horns.

Cinematic and nostalgic, ‘Exile’ gathers twisted, orchestrated music that paints a gloomy, apocalyptic world around Rabendorn’s voice, who sounds like an all knowing narrator who tells you the inevitable tale you need to hear just before the last curtain is being pulled down on this world.

Not to take anything from the rest of the album, I think that ‘Decoy’ is the most powerful and percise song on this great work, feeling like a refreshing requiem to our oh so tiring existence. The end is near, my friends. The end is near, and this music is more than a fine choice to dress this closure with. This is beautiful."

Review by German Underground Magazine "kulturterrorismus" for "Exile" can be found here:
http://kulturterrorismus.de/rezensionen/ralf-rabendorn-exile.html

I'd like to add the "Fazit/Bottom Line" here, too

RALF RABENDORN Werke besprechen zu dürfen, gehört im Verlauf der vergangenen 10 Jahre betrachtet, zu den Herausforderungen überhaupt, 
wo sich sein neustes Meisterwerk “Exile” nahtlos einreiht, das in meinen Augen wie Ohren sein persönlichstes (wie emotionalstes) Opus (bisher) darstellt –
 meine absolute (Kauf-) Empfehlung! 
PS: Falls Sie “Exile” von RALF RABENDORN nicht verstehen, gehören Sie zur mitlaufenden Masse in Deutschland! (KulturTerrorismus)
