CHOROS – NEW ALBUM RELEASE !

In May 2025 Mic Oechsner will release his new concept solo album ΧΩΡΟΣ (Greek for „space“).

This 13 song compilation will deal with the phenomenon of space in any kind of contemporary meaning:

„Space“ is an enormously important concept of our time: overpopulation, overtourism, climate crisis, (and thus) habitat depletion, migration, considerations of escaping into outer space, to another planet. Our space is limited, and it’s getting smaller and smaller. How do we deal with it? Will we flee? Will we destroy each other until there are only a few of us left? Or will a natural disaster wipe out humanity? Where do we go? How do we find a solution?
