TIDEMORE have produced an album called Transitions, which provides the Turn of Eras with its first soundtrack.Times turn and change you: But what is there to hope for? Is there progress? Or is it hopeless? (from: Turn of Eras)
The two brothers agree that this tremendous period cannot be turned around in a small ensemble, especially when everyone has at least one instrument in their hands. It wasn't difficult to find a familiar line-up for the recording of the eleven songs for their first band album. Together with Florian Holoubek on drums and percussion (Annett Louisan and Blue Man Group) and Thomsen Slowey Merkel on bass (Philipp Boa and the Voodooclub, formerly Bosse and Cäthe), as well as Valentin Schwarzbeck on trumpet and flugelhorn, TIDEMORE transformed influences and ideas into tide-like melancholy and hopeful sounds in the studio in the Remise. Immediately after completion, with the Sounds of Transitions still in the walls, the studio was demolished. Because change has its price, and for TIDEMORE, mastering transitions means reflecting on what life means to them: celebrating music and feeling alive.
In their usual openness, the two brothers Andreas and Matthias Pietsch created the text and music in collaboration with a sense of impending change.
I am lucky. But am I happy? (from: Everything) On Transitions, TIDEMORE finds a sound for small-scale transitions, for intimate transformations, but also powerful sounds for transitions into an uncertain future.
With Transitions, TIDEMORE manage to let love resonate at the end as an alternative to uncertainty and a response to fears: Come what may. We remain. Just the two of us. (from: Come What May) And all those who accompany TIDEMORE musically on their path of change.
