The HANS ANSELM QUINTET's new album Room Scope Moon is released by BERTHOLD records on September 24th 2021.

The line-up: Gabriel Rosenbach on trumpet, Benedikt Schnitzler on guitar, Anna Wohlfarth on piano, Arne Imig on bass and Johannes Metzger on drums.

Combining the melodic and the electronic, this is superb, atmospheric music by an ensemble with an intriguing name.

Hans Anselm is not a band member, so who is he? As Schnitzler, founder of the ensemble, explains "he's our imaginary friend.

He told us to start the band and he's always there, but only we can see him, whispering the music to us.

He's like our common schizophrenic partner, sometimes ghost, sometimes human. He's inspirational and gets us out of our comfort zone."
