Lambert – Ausverkauft! / Sold out! –

When Lambert was caught playing the piano one morning in his Berlin flat by his daughter, he realised that he had to change something. "You always do the same thing," she opened and stared icily at her father, who was fortunately able to hide his reaction to this drumbeat behind his ever present mask. "You'll soon have no career if you carry on like this." He had always been content to make music "like this", after all, he had become so well known that he could easily headline at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg or the Funkhaus in Berlin. He had also explored various genres, including jagged electronica and of course jazz, his first musical passion. But the fact that his now 14-year-old daughter, who had grown up with his quiet, contemplative compositions and had never complained, suddenly reacted in this way made him wonder: "What if there was some truth to her wild claims?"

Crushed by their harsh criticism, Lambert questioned everything he knew about his artistic identity. However, as he fished around for answers to almost unanswerable questions, he realised that there was already an ideal solution: a project he had been thinking about for some time. He had been invited by an English director to contribute the film music to his first television series. The director also made an unexpected additional suggestion: he wanted to book Lambert not only as a composer in this dark crime drama about the true story of the infamous and still unsolved Ice Cream Man Murders, but also cast him in a role as a detective.

The idea seemed strange to Lambert, especially for a German musician, but then he thought: "Becoming a detective in a celebrated English TV series doesn't sound so bad." His daughter thought he should "expand the Lambiverse" and the more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea of trying out a different mask. So, thanks to his daughter, he decided it was time to take the bull by the horns, or so they say.
