Tillmann Walter

It is difficult. The hearing, the feeling and the understanding. Music like Tillmann's is not everyone's cup of tea. Why is that? Because it goes incredibly deep. If you let it. Because it touches and agitates. Because it can. It opens doors in the soul that many prefer to keep closed.

Those who hear his melancholy and vulnerable voice will involuntarily ask themselves why.. Where do these fears and subliminal pain come from? The comparison to his role model, a great English singer-songwriter, easily manifests itself. At least as far as the timbre of his voice goes. Is this really still electronic pop music or something completely different?

His approach to the production of his first song was neither straight, nor easy and certainly not short. It took him time to find it. Time for dreams, experiences, but also full of pain and self-doubt, which is reflected in the music.

This inner turmoil can be found in the structure of the songs. Whenever you think you can hum along to a melody, an almost rupture-like complex turn follows. A compulsion to listen and get involved. Nothing there is smoothed out so that it sells well and fits into the mainstream. His music certainly can't ripple along in the background.

Tillman has found his path as a musician, now he's going to follow it.
