port fish music

knowing each other from their childhood TiDe's and flow's first steps with music happened at school of arts. TiDe learning to play the violin while flow started with the flute and guitar. after several years of growing on the classical music TiDe continued his studies at the school of music aiming his life to become a professional musician. flow finished his musical education playing in the group named "queentet".

ambient music

during his studies at school of music TiDe - influenced by music of tears for fears, a-ha, peter gabriel, genesis, yes, and other bands - started playing the keyboards in the local christian rock band called "silence". silence released two regular albums and played number of live performances across the country.

chillout music

at this time flow - inspired by bands such as kraftwerk, depeche mode, new order, art of noise, the orb and 808 state - begun his own musical experiments with his computer. composing music for computer games and demos initially, he continued working with synthesizers and produced three unreleased albums under the name of "the PACIfiC".

electronic music

after few years spent on their own projects, flow and TiDe met again and quickly realized that their visions of music have much in common. their musical ideas were transformed into reality of the PACIfiC, new project adopting name of flow's legacy solo project. with the number of other bands of the same name, the PACIfiC was soon renamed to the port fish.

after one year of composing and recording the port fish's debut album titled "empire of silence" has been brought to life. in spite of positive opinions from several independent media representatives, no interest from any major label was shown, as supposed. with no perspective in their home country flow & TiDe decided to release their first album on their own. "empire of silence" became available on the internet on november 2006.

NICE MELLOW TUNES
-- Afterlife (Steve Miller, artist/producer, UK)

-- Ambient Jazz Duo (band, Texas, US)

Very relaxing atmosphere you have created... keep it up.
-- tranquilatwist (band, US)

I'm really enjoying your songs. I love that they are serious and meaningful... damned near somber, yet there's an undeniable playfulness there. If one could record human instinct musically, I think it would fetch similar to antartic. Anyways, sorry about the rambling. I really just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed hearing these songs.

Reading Makes Me Angry
