1998: Viennese singer/songwriter Marcus Testory unites contrabass, cello, viola and violins with his guitars and chant to Chamber - L’ Orchestre De Chambre Noir.
” …Bittersweet, just like Leonhard Cohen or Nick Cave, the sound of this orchestra transmits a magical feel within it’s songs full of emotion, desire and a breeze of black humor…”
(Frankfurter Rundschau 12/2002)
2002: Chamber releases the debut-album “L’ Orchestre De Chambre Noir” (Trisol/EFA). Lifted by public and press, “Ghoststories And Fairy-Tales” (Trisol/EFA) follows in 2003 and establishes Chamber within the international music-scene.
2004: Two further recordings rise, “Miles Away” (Trisol / SoulFood) and “Solitude” (Trisol/Soulfood), followed by many festival shows and extensive touring.
2005: By creating the piano-quartet Chamber’s Quadro Nero and the guitar-duo Chamber’s House Of Tales, Marcus Testory introduces an expansion of Chamber for theaters, varietè and cabaret.
2006: The Quadro Nero album “Epilogue” is launched within the re-release of Chamber’s debut-album “L’Orchestre De Chambre Noir” (Trisol/Soulfood). “Once In A Liftime”, a tour cooperation with german goth-rockband Asp is accomponied by another special longplayer, “Humility” (Trisol/Soulfood).
In August 06, producer Thomas Schmitt-Zijnen (Bobby Kimbal, Michael Sadler, Toto Classix, Moody Blues Classix, Supermax, Sven Väth, Chamber a.m.m.), Marcus Testory and a refreshed Orchestre De Chambre Noir embark on creation for a new album.
