Artist picture
An electronic music project by artist and graphic designer Thomas Herrmann.
Born in Potsdam (Germany) in 1962, he started to play music in his early childhood by himself and create his own pictures of art and sketches of sounds. At the age of 14 years he accepted a job at a club as a DJ and worked there for several years, and that is where he came in contact with some new music that come on the scene which became the catalyst in his perusal of the attraction and development of electronic music. In the 1980’s he got his first synthesizer and began with synthesizer programming and composition. Although he had no classical musical education the kind of the compositions that he started composing were classical in nature, but at the same time could not exactly be defined. He received encouragement and motivation from his circle of friends to continue and peruse further this mysterious music. A great amount of material (for tone and video material) originated during those years in that still is unreleased to this day. In 2006 with the support of a friend, he built a small recording studio and now produced more complicated pieces and bigger concepts. His music has established itself into acoustical pictures. What he sees, he allows to flow, his sensations and dreams, his environment and the society, his emotions and his fears into every note, or phrase and piece of his music productions. In experimental sound scenery, he projects an acoustic head cinema for the senses, which show the life from the point of the artist without steering him in a certain direction. Stories from books, his childhood and other topical subjects influence his music where various instruments complimented by objects from everyday life like key, tools, clips and machines where they find their purpose in the application. For the listener his works distinguish its own revelation, so deeply reach into the soul, touch with sadness and happiness, takes us back to our youth for a brief time again and journey on an honest aching, revolting, or crying in pain and joy. The Eye demands a certain discipline from the listener, one that is slowly given time and attention led in its own center of the story, and as the sound develops the music becomes like a blossom in the morning sun slowly shining, thus every second becomes more listening pleasure. With music, text and visuals it all forms into an acoustic head cinema beyond the usual music trend.

Lyrics
Tartarus, in ancient Greek mythology, is the deep abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as a prison for the Titans. As far below Hades as the earth is below heaven, Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato in Gorgias (ca. 400 BC), souls were judged after death and where the wicked received divine punishment. According to legend, the river Styx represents the border between the world of the living and the realm of the dead, Hades. The souls of the dead are ferried across the river by Charon, the ferryman. The deepest part of the underworld is the Tartaros, already mentioned by the primordial deities, where Zeus imprisoned wrongdoers such as the Titans, Tantalus, Sisyphus and Tityos. Orpheus was considered the best of the singers. He beguiled gods, humans and even animals, plants and stones. The trees bowed to him when he played, the wild animals gathered peacefully around him and even the rocks wept at his beautiful song. Orpheus' wife was the nymph Eurydice. When Aristaius tried to rape her and she fled from him, she died, according to Virgil's story in the Georgica, from a snakebite he inflicted.... more on CD Booklet.
