ABOUT DIE KAMMER

TELL US WHAT'S RIGHT IN THE HOME OF THE WRONG

Die Kammer is an Indie-Folk duo formed by musicians Marcus Testory and Matthias Ambré.

They perform in different line-ups. As a duo, in a four-piece formation with cello and bass, as well as in a larger orchestral ensemble with viola, violin, cello, tuba, bass and drums.

Their songs tell bizarre and morbid stories that are characterized by melancholy, transience and death, but also of an unwavering joy and lust for life. The narratives often include fine sarcasm and subtle social criticisms, drawing from personal experiences.

These works are separated by seasons under a specific title. Die Kammer, currently in Season IV, began on October 13th 2018 under the title "Some T#ings Wrong."

THE NAME "DIE KAMMER"



💬Louise Lunow

From Middle High German kamer, from Old High German chamara, from Latin camera (“chamber”).

The band's name "Die Kammer" is primarily an allusion to the terms "chamber music" and "chamber orchestra".

The term "Die Kammer" is also a reminiscence to Testory's former band "Chamber", which tradition of pure acoustic arrangment is continued in the Ambré/Testory project.

Finally "Die Kammer" is meant as synonym for the hideway, where the musicians finding peace for working creative and writing their songs and lyrics.
