Born and based in Germany, Thomas Thielen Initially a keyboard player, he started taking piano lessons in 1980. One year prior to
finishingthose he joined a band in 1992. Although that experience apparently was rather uneventful, it lead to Thielen changing his choice of
maininstrument; and during his tenure with this group he decided to start learning the guitar.
Soon after he joined a blues band as bassist; but that did not last too long either. It was a useful experience nonetheless; as the lack
ofrehearsing, planning and innovation led Thielen to want to do the exact opposite in his music. Around this time he started checking out a
bandcalled Marillion; which subsequently made him discover early 70's Genesis. While looking up this "mythic" music he also started
takingsinging lessons; from what one can read on his homepage, this was the start of a long and still ongoing journey of discovery and
evolvement.
POWDS CON FUSION was the next band project Thielen got involved in; and after this outfit folded three members from that band,
includingThielen, formed SCYTHE along with a bass player.The recording of SCYTHE's second album "Divorced land" was a nice learning
experience for Thielen, and a direct result of the knowledgeacquired in those sessions was that he set up his own home studio. Galileo
Records, who had released this production, was persuaded torelease Thielen's first solo production "Naive" in 2002; issued under the moniker
t.
The release was met with critical acclaim, and work began on a second solo album soon after. This follow-up release, "Voices" was issued
byGalileo Records in 2006.
