We’re still at it!🤪
In case you’ve wondered why it has gotten a little quiet recently, this has everything to do with us working full time and with all the energy we have on the new album! 🎧 It’s still going to take a little while until it will be released, but from now on we will take you along the ride a little more, dropping some sweet nuggets and info in the near future! Here’s Mats Leichtle and me during one of our recent mixing sessions! We’re excited and hope you are too! ✌️

MRBB live @BR Studio 2 (Stream) 🚀
After a long, long pandemic hiatus we finally got back together again for a few days of rehearsals, having chats and heavy bean grinding! After practicing the new pieces we immediately went to German tv and radio broadcast company Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) and recorded a live set which will be available for on demand viewing in their online library from Nov 5 on! Take a look, we had a blast!!

TMTxplosif live
We had a great time playing with my trio TMTxplosif at Jazz & the City Festival in Salzburg and NUEJAZZ festival in Nuremberg!

Munich Composers Collective live
Gregor Hübner’s Munich Composers Collective (MCC) finally came together again to play a live concert at Milla Club! I was excited to contribute a few pieces – as always it was a great pleasure to play with this very special formation!

3 premieres for orchestra
In October I was invited as a composer to the Sonic Visions Festival in Reutlingen! Three new pieces for orchestra and electronics had their premieres there under the direction of Chatschatur Kanjan, accompanied by live visuals made by Timo Dufner. Here are some impressions!
See you soon, Monika
TMTxplosif live @Theresienwiese
Yesterday was probably the hottest gig of the year! Thank you all for showing up in these Death Valley temperatures, we’ve enjoyed being grilled on stage and playing our music at Kunst im Quadrat. We had a blast! Summer tan inclusive! TMTxplosif!;)
Camp Festival 2021
Here are some impressions from Camp Festival 2021, a “visual music” festival in Stuttgart!
12 artists from all over the world, with backgrounds in music, dance, performance and visual arts, shut themselves in for one week to create something together, resulting in many amazing performances by different collaborating teams – it was a feast for the senses and mind to work with these inspiring and fascinating people!
I wish you all a pleasant summer!:)
We have a new home!
Big news everyone, after a two year odyssey of ups and downs, dilligence, and sweat, poring over contracts and gaining important experiences, the Monika Roscher Bigband has a new home: Zenna Records – we founded our own label! 🎉🚀🌈
Which also means that our music is available again on streaming services:
Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Bandcamp.
