About Me

"A small house can carry as much happiness as a large one"
Theo Bleckmann - CD Anteroom
Founded as a music production company and studio in 1989, Traumton (pronounced Trowm'tone) is running the label Traumton Records since 1992. Traumton Records specializes in beautifully packaged, audiophile quality recordings of jazz, world, ambient and german pop/chanson music performed by artists from Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, the US and Brazil. We believe in developing long term relationships with artists and projects offering a unique musical style, artistic and creative visons and perspectives. We appreciate original ideas and individuality, the pleasure of trying experiments and the readiness for taking risks, though this might not relate to the situation of the market or just be a little crazy. We offer open ears and an open mind, a place to grow for newcomers and a place to bloom for established artists.
Please visit our "band members" and "most special friend" - sites for further information on Traumton's artists.
Traumton is distributed in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux and Japan. You can order CDs directly from the shop on our website www.traumton.de . Downloads and pre-listenings are availble on iTunes and eMusic .

Recent releases:

Bobo In White Wooden Houses
CD Mental Radio
Finally! Bobo In White Wooden Houses is back with a new album – and it seems like she had not even been away. Almost ten years have passed since her highly successful 1990s releases on Universal Music and her appearance as the angel’s voice on Rammstein’s famous song „Engel“. But Bobo’s most beautiful voice – crystal clear, fragile, unique – still sends shivers down your spine. „Mental Radio“ seamlessly hooks up with Bobo’s earlier works. Once again she presents an inexhaustible source of timeless melodies and brilliant pop arrangements which you would never want to miss. Welcome back, Bobo. We hope you’ll be around for a while.

BOBO
CD Lieder von Liebe und Tod
"A pretty serious candidate for album of the year is what vocalist Bobo presents us under the title of "Lieder von Liebe und Tod" /"Songs of Love and Death" (Traumton 4504/Indigo). German folk songs and most especially some of the great German poems, mostly classical or from the romantic era, are congenially put to music and very sparingly arranged here by Sebastian Herzfeld. He works absolutely eclectically - sometimes it sounds like an acoustic version of Pink Floyd, sometimes like Philip Glass's minimalistic film music - and yet this music is primarily one thing: a picture artistically set in motion, or even better: a scene of drama, perfected, crafted by means of music. Bobo interprets these magnificent lyrics with a clarity and sincerity that doesn't only open up the ears, but that which mythical tradition has inscribed in all these songs: the soul. Her singing is a guide to sensibility. These unusual and not only commercially risky recordings are of a consistant brilliance that literally gives you the shivers. Whoever opens up to this grandiose miniature music theater, this common people's cosmos , will leave it rewarded beyond imagination. New standards are being set here."
Jazzpodium, June 2007, Volker Doberstein
