Music loosely based on the motto "While my piano gently weeps." This music is gentle and seduces its audience into a slow-paced world. The charismatic voice of Ralph Maten meets the melancholic warmth of a very young Cat Stevens. Combined with his tender piano playing, it's a feast for the senses.
With the worldwide release of his fifth solo album, "Yours & Mine (Live 2014)," via Amp-Media, the German press gave him the very fitting nickname "Samtmann." Ralph Maten is a music producer, singer (rock/blues & jazz), and pianist (Torch Music).
Maten appreciates the advantages of popular stage pianos, and not only as an endorser for traditional Japanese brands. In his stage shows, Maten impresses with the live performance of his most important instrument: his distinctive voice. References: In the remix field, he has already had the opportunity to lend a hand on outstanding productions by Udo Lindenberg, Wir sind Helden, Glashaus, Yello, and Funker Vogt. He has released over twenty English-language albums on his own record label, AMP-Media. Maten has rocked major festivals live. He has played as the support act for unusual artists such as Marilyn Manson, Wolfsheim, HIM, De/Vision, and his childhood idol Marc Almond (Soft Cell).
