About the album

The soundtrack for a bold, new theatrical rock show created by international cabaret sensation Sven Ratzke, STARMAN features dazzling interpretations of classic songs by David Bowie and original material co-written by Ratzke and New York-based musician Rachelle Garniez. The album's sparse, evocative arrangements are the work of Ratzke's longtime collaborator, jazz pianist Charly Zastrau and feature Haye Jellema on drums and Florian Friedrich on bass. Drawing inspiration from Bowie's oeuvre -- including his music, aesthetics, and personae -- Ratzke creates a wholly new character, STARMAN, to bring listeners and audiences on a fantastic journey blending truth and imagination.
