Tarwater is a German electronic music duo formed in 1995 in Berlin, comprised of musicians Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok. The duo is well-regarded for their distinctive blend of electronic music with elements of indie rock and experimental sounds, often infusing their tracks with an intellectual depth that references literature and philosophy. Their style is marked by a blend of electronic beats, atmospheric soundscapes, and sometimes spoken word vocals, all of which contribute to the unique identity of their music.

Over the years, Tarwater has built a rich discography marked by a consistent evolution in sound and concept. Their recent works, like "Voyeur Nation (Tarwater Yello Remix)" and "Nanocluster, Vol. 1 (EP1)," demonstrate their adaptability and willingness to explore collaborative projects and new sonic territories. Albums such as "Adrift" and "Inside the Ships" serve as testament to their ability to create immersive auditory experiences, while "Leaves of Grass," inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman, showcases their literary interests. Tarwater's music is often thematic, inviting listeners to engage with each album as a cohesive piece of art. They have built a loyal following that appreciates the unique niche they occupy, where electronic music meets a cerebral narrative.
