Drummers are usually hard to miss. Tilo Weber, on the other hand, is quiet. And yet he has a presence like almost no other drummer. Time and again he opens doors to something new and does not allow himself to be pinned down to one style. He is just as open to chamber music as he is to free improvisation, electronic music, pop, hip-hop or swing. Since
2023, he has had a close artistic collaboration with PULSE, a progressive ensemble that sometimes expands the classical string quartet line-up to include synthesizers and electronics and allows musical ideas to flow freely across genre boundaries. Johannes Haase (violin), Susanne Zapf (violin), Yuko Hara (viola) and Jakob Nierenz (cello) commissioned three compositions from Tilo Weber,
which they premiered together in the Sendesaal Bremen in December 2023. The work "rainbows" was nominated for the German Jazz Award in the composition category in 2025. Tilo Weber already won the German Jazz Award for Arrangement of the Year in 2022. He combines open forms, pulsating Gnawa rhythms and innovative playing techniques to create a multi-layered whole. He adds Indonesian gamelan timbres to his drums and lets them blend transparently with the string sounds.
