history

The first recordings by Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok, who began their musical careers in 1982 in the GDR art punk band Ornament & Verbrechen , were made under the name Tarwater in 1995. The band name comes from the credits on a record by the psychedelic band Love , on which a musician named C. Tarwater took part. In September 1995 the two musicians gave their first concert at an art festival in Dresden and in February 1996 their first Berlin concert in the Red Salon. The first Tarwater album 11/6 12/10 was released in 1996 on the Kitty-Yo label. In that year she started working with the booking agency Headquarter. The duo composed and produced film music for the first time for the feature film Edgar , directed by Karsten Laske . In 1997, music for the short film Road Barrier , directed by Carsten Fiebeler, followed . In 1997 Kitty-Yo again released the band's second album, Rabbit Moon . In March 1998 Tarwater first went on tour in the USA. There Rabbit Moon Revisited was distributed by Capstack. In 1998 the album Silur came out, which was licensed for the USA in 1999 by Mute Records . In 1999 the duo released Like a Miracle and the Tarwater Remix EP .

During this time Tarwater provided the appropriate background music for numerous films and performances and completed a few radio sessions, including two peel sessions . Releases in the following years were 2000 Animals Suns & Atoms with Kitty-Yo, 2001 Not the Wheel with Gustaff Records and 2002 Dwellers on the Threshold . In 2001 Tarwater provided the score for Blackberry , the first full-length feature film by Oliver Rihs , for which the latter also wrote the script. Tours and performances in Europe followed, including at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. In 2005 the duo signed with the prestigious Morr Music label and released The needle was traveling . In the same year Jestram and Lippok went on tour in Japan with Bernhard Fleischmann . In 2005 Tarwater gave concerts in South America and in 2006 in Central America. In 2007 Morr Music released the album Spider Smile .

Ronald Lippok has also been active in the band To Rococo Rot since 1995 .
