The artist describes the album on Bandcamp:
What is Tiefenland?
An origin, an in-between world, a future world.
The new album by Thomas Glönkler.
Since when has Tiefenland existed?
When a child began to deal with the question of his origins. The philosphical and musical result of this thought is the concept album Tiefenland.
Where is Tiefenland?
A piece of Tiefenland has always been in you. You can travel there and stay. You can visit it while passing through. You can take a short trip there. Its artistic manifestation is the concept album Tiefenland.
What does Tiefenland sound like?
Diverse. Rocky, proggy, arty. The sound from the fool’s garden. A concept album with a timeless sound.
Who lives in Tiefenland?
Everyone who wants to. Also the people who never became.
How did Tiefenland come into being?
In a process that made long-buried things visible and during which no stone was left unturned.
Is Tiefenland real?
Are souls real? Can ideas exist? How can music live? It is all invisible, but we feel it is there. The album Tiefenland is the soundtrack to this.
The album is available as
Limited 2xCD Edition
Limited Gatefold 2xLP + CD
