IN MY ROSARY

A Collection Of Fading Moments 

©Desire. Deutschland, 1999.

‟The project IN MY ROSARY was founded in 1992 by the musician RALF JESEK (vocals, instruments, music, lyrics) and the photographer DIRK LAKOMY (lyrics) to be a stage for their artistic collaboration. Originally thought to last only for a single cassette production, the reactions to their music were so positive that various record companies became aware of the project and IN MY ROSARY finally signed to the "Discordia" label in 1993. But even though they got a deal, they insisted on releasing the vinyl 7inch "Flood & Dust" under their own auspices. Their official debut album "Those Silent Years" (1993) then attracted international attention and their second album "Under The Mask Of Stone" (1994) finally established the project within the worldwide Darkwave / Alternative scene.

      
Mainly influenced by the melancholic New Wave of the late 1980s, IN MY ROSARY were often called "Pioneers of Darkfolk" in the beginning because their use of acoustic guitars was quite unusual those days. And even if their very own mixture of Darkwave, New Wave, Folk, Electro and Pop elements has become a reference for some acts of this genre nowadays, IN MY ROSARY were never part of any particular scene - and never wanted to be one. They rather use different Darkwave styles to realise their very own artistic ideas. A journalist once created the style name "DarkWaveFolkPop" and this compound might be the closest definition of IN MY ROSARY's music. The idea of independance is an elementary part of the IN MY ROSARY concept. This includes also the fact that IN MY ROSARY still see themselves as a temporary project which quasi comes together for a new album and dissolves after its realisation.‟
