Thomekk is the solo Project of the composer/artist Thomas Kallweit.
This page was born because Thomekk has managed to finish his 1st album. Hopefully you like this kind of stuff. The CD was completely done by Thomekk - with the nice exception of luckily having the singers Eva Scheider and Mona sung some lovely vocals at some places!
The music is mainly a mixture of electronics, sampled instruments plus lots of really played guitars, it uses open song structures and lots of styles putting a blend between psychedelica, ugly songs, kinderliedern and classical incantations, often there are vocals - mostly in german, but recently more in english.
1st Album is out! Thomekk - "Kleine Hoehle auf dem Berg"
On the 1st Thomekk-Album almost all vocals are in german, but that's not so important, because the songs function as music without the necessity of understanding the lyrics.
Album length: 50 minutes. Tracks: 19
Please check it out!
Despite of the 4 tracks above you can hear preview snippets of all 19 tracks here: (3 free downloads included) (click the pic!)
