diver

diver – The band
It’s a hot summer day on a roof top of a condemned house in Central Berlin, when Stephan Ebert and Wolfgang Bruckner meet to start working on some fresh musical ideas. With Berlin’s television tower in sight, first demos are recorded and sent to Vienna and Munich. Their first addressee is their friend Olaf Schuberth, who widens their arrangements and adds new material for their project, already going by the name “diver”. After the trios first reunion it’s official: diver is born.

diver – The music
Their music is affective, simple and honest. Emotions are realized powerfully, still quiet, with acoustic instruments and through a variety of different voices. The essence of their music is the contradiction between harmony and their lyrics dealing with insecurity and disorientation. Their songs are swirling around the difficulty to fulfill other people’s expectations, still trying to be true to oneself, and about the discrepancy between overwhelming emotions and rational realizations.
