IN MY ROSARY were formed in 1992 by the musician Ralf Jesek and the photographer Dirk Lakomy. Originally planned to be a one-time cooperation, they became (rather accidentally) a constant within the international Darkwave / Alternative scene over the years. Already their first release "Those Silent Years" (1993) received excellent reviews all over the world and is seen as a classic nowadays.
Being regarded as one of the pioneers of Darkfolk at first, they soon demonstrated that one category is definitely not enough for their music. From the very first they mixed several Darkwave styles to achieve their special sound. From acoustic to electro, from Darkfolk to Angstpop - IN MY ROSARY never cared about exterior expectations and cut their own path. This "dourness" may be one reason why the project got a faithful following all over the world - and even became a reference for other bands.
"Dreamy melancholic melodies carry deep and melancholic thoughts" - this press excerpt describes a little bit of what makes up IN MY ROSARY. Their motto is "less is more", and so they avoid any gadgets to get to the essence of their music and emotions.
IN MY ROSARY still see themselves as a temporary project that comes into being for an album and disintegrates after that. So every album is something like a final statement. This also applies to their new album "15".
Besides IN MY ROSARY Ralf was songwriter and singer of the Wave Pop band DERRIERE LE MIROIR (1992 - 2002) and has recently released the CD "Perfect Vacation" under the project name MARY'S COMIC (>> myspace site).
