As a well-traveled songwriter, Timothy Jaromir has a wide-open view of the world. His many interactions with other people and places shine through continuously in his music and give it a multifaceted, international feel. Jaromir playfully combines folk, blues and indie pop and builds a bridge between the classical and the modern, creating something new by reinterpreting the old. Jaromir’s first work, Salton Sea, was released in 2010. Since then he has played at countless festivals at home and abroad, including the Montreux Jazz Festival. After a successful collaboration with Pablo Nouvelle, he toured with follow-up albums through Denmark, Poland, Germany, Canada and Switzerland and made it into the Swiss and German Airplay Charts. With Rykka Jaromir has been successfully pursuing the Americana Folk Project Goldschatz since 2018. His fourth EP, Man Atlas, will be released in the fall of 2024. The songs on his new EP thus demonstrate a rarely perfect duality: Their sound is quiet and, at the same time, very expansive, the ingredients are reduced and yet richly endowed. It is a sound aesthetic that appeals to the subconscious rather than being composed of a superficial mixture of recorded instruments and voices. The core of his music is ultimately always the song, consisting of a successful composition and profoundly personal lyrics.
