Hilde

A vocal chamber musical wonderland with pastel intensity. This music is neither jazz, nor chamber music, nor ambient or chanson. It is one hundred percent Hilde. Met Timbre, their third album, the quartet effortlessly frees itself from any label. Based in Cologne, Bochum, and London, these four musicians bring something that needs no definition or reference point: something that unfolds by itself in time and space, as if it had always been there, waiting for the right people to bring it to life. Timbre is an album with character. It shows itself in flexible simultaneity and in a sense of completeness. It offers the listener space: to move freely in the soundscape, to surrender to their own images and associations. Music that explains nothing, but just is, with a fragile emotionality that eludes any description.
