In 2024, Dirk Ackermann sought to further develop his sound and creative potential, so he decided to share the songwriting process with other musicians. Collaboration with Henrik Wager as a lyricist and his support in developing melodies led to the creation of new material with a unique sound for the upcoming album. This collaboration between Ackermann and Wager formed the basis of the updated lineup of the band Saris. Further albums will be released as a project with guest musicians (Jimmy Keegan, Marek Arnold, Martin Schnella) under the name Saris. The first of these projects was Sari Project’s sixth album: Off World, with 73 minutes of symphonic progressive rock.
