THE EYE music

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.
