How Dreams Are Formed

一 | Album 'SHIBUI'

Tides is an Ambient artist originally from the South East of England, now residing in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where the rugged landscapes and serene beauty deeply inspire both his music and photography. Having previously released on labels such as Dewtone Recordings, Shimmering Moods Records, Mystery Circles, and SoundGhost, Tides has spent years refining a sound that blends organic instrumentation, experimental processing, and deeply personal themes. With early days spent with Jazz, Funk, and even Deathcore, his journey toward Ambient music has been shaped by a lifelong passion for sound and recording.

Where Her Flowers Still Bloom is a deeply personal exploration of memory, grief, and healing, written as a response to witnessing his mother’s battle with early-onset dementia. As words failed to capture the weight of this experience, music became an outlet for reflection, with each track serving as a sonic expression of love, loss, and fading recollections. Through a delicate interplay of electric and acoustic guitar, piano, field recordings and granular synthesis, Tides crafts an album that is both intimate and expansive, drawing listeners into a world of nostalgia and emotional depth.

The album’s sound design is built on a fluid creative process that blends traditional recording techniques with experimental methods. Intricate textures were sculpted which blur the boundaries between composition and sound manipulation. With a young family, his workflow has been built around short bursts of time, balancing music with family life. This allows him to continuously sample, resample, and refine sounds into deeply immersive atmospheres.

Beyond its musical elements, Where Her Flowers Still Bloom is also a reflection on personal growth and transformation. Over the past year, Tides has embraced trail running, minimalism, and mindfulness as ways to navigate mental health challenges and to break cycles of consumerism and addiction. Inspired by artists like Austin Cairns (r beny), whose story of personal recovery resonated deeply, Tides has found balance through creativity and nature, shaping an album that is as cathartic for him as it is moving for the listener.
