Tobias Wilden

GERMANY

Hailing from Bremen, Germany, Tobias Wilden is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose musical journey began with the acoustic guitar. Drawing inspiration from Americana, Jazz, and Brazilian classical guitar, Tobias’s early exploration laid the foundation for his distinctive sound, characterised by the use of alternate and open tunings.

Expanding beyond conventional guitar-centric compositions, Tobias blends acoustic guitar, cello, and double-bass with orchestral and electronic elements, creating impressionistic music sketches that deeply resonates with the essence of the natural world. Embracing an ambient ethos that prioritises resonance and spatial expansiveness, Tobias’s artistic vision is intimately linked with his passion for photography, reflecting the vast landscapes captured in his visual works. Oscillating between melodic allure and dissonant intrigue, his style eludes categorisation, marked by intricate technicality juxtaposed with a gentle, inviting demeanor.

Tobias debuted on KITCHEN. LABEL with A Path to Open Air II (2024), a spiritual continuation of his most prominent work, the 2013 album A Path to Open Air. His journey, which spans 11 original albums, has largely unfolded in Japan, where his music has resonated beyond the album format and acoustic recitals — woven into commercials and compilations, deepening his ties with a dedicated audience there.
