Two years after releasing his highly acclaimed 2015 album, Natural Perception (ENJA Records), Tobias Meinhart returns with his ponderous and compelling sophomore release, Silent Dreamer.
\nThis album is decidedly darker than his debut, both in tone and in subject matter, as Tobias makes use of a tonal palette more familiar to brooding alternative and popular music: lumbering straight 8th grooves, synthesizers, effects pedals, Rhodes and electric bass all coalesce underneath Tobias\u2019s melodic modern jazz sensibility to form a single sound that is all at once engaging, grating and cathartic.
\nAs implied by the album\u2019s title, Silent Dreamer is intended to recapture the essence of the unconscious imagination: both ethereal daydreams and bitter nightmares, as well as all the invisible worlds that live between the two. Tobias about his new album: \u201cWhen improvising and composing, I like to think of myself as a \u2018SOUND-PAINTER\u2019 adding strokes to a canvas and bringing it to life.\u201d
