Jochen Tiberius Koch - Old Man and the Sea (2021)

"Old Man and the Sea" is the new recording project by Jochen Tiberius Koch, German composer and musician. The work is available on all digital streaming platforms, on the Blue Spiral Records website and on limited edition vinyl.

In 1951 Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea", an emotional odyssey with plenty of room for interpretation, deep feelings, sensations and desires. 70 years later, the Leipzig composer Jochen Tiberius Koch attempts to sketch acoustic experiments inspired by Hemingway's masterpiece, with the help of Smilla's enchanting voice.

Each song in itself is a symbiosis of melancholy, pain, strength and awakening. Suddenly the energy arises, which finally flows into relief. Koch is taking us into a world of pain and deprivation. We follow him through storms and doubts, in the darkness. While we are still tasting the salt on our lips, the first rays of light appear on the surface of the sea, until we see the dazzling horizon shine. With a beating heart and out of breath we remain in peace and contentment.
