Ravensburg (album)
''Ravensburg'' is the fourth studio album by Norwegian jazz musician Mathias Eick. The album was released by the label ECM Records on . Background Eick originally planned to name the album ''Family'', but he soon realized that there are so many other albums with that title.

They are calls of hope and longing, streaks of light in the darkness. He still centers his albums, loosely, around unifying concepts. His previous recording, Midwest, was a journey toward home.
