[@idleyesss]

tamino disappears from social media, prompting his fans to think something nefarious has happened when really he's clattering about in caves he's far too tall to be in and building his own wickerman. i'm not sure i'd expect anything less...

[@ayo6739]

this is what an artist is supposed to be

[@charlotte.murphy]

!!!

[@andrju3916]

Artists should be all kinds of things, why limit ourselves to just a single perspective. Every creative's unique.

[@ChunkyLover69420]

pretentious?

[@jefficah1295]

Seconding: Why? Why shouldn't artists be as individual as those of any other trade

[@N_IRL]

I love Tamino but I agree with the other replies, an artist isn't "supposed" to be anything

[@silvermisttty]

His process of creating art is a whole different piece of art.

Hi. I’m a filmmaker, yet I was lost my motivation. I forgot why do I love this, I forgot why I chose this. This is the first thing I saw when I woke up today, a part of a diary. This tells me lots of things, but mostly it reminded me why I started this. I remembered what I love. This means a lot to me, I deeply thank you…

[@elenarodriguez9188]

Sometimes the process seems to be "I'm stuck" phase, but we're growing as we continue our days, crafting our ideas and habilities. Someday it just makes sense everything. Wish you good 😊

Tamino in the cave looked like a child with his favourite toy.

[@astridcastaingkarlsson4010]

First things first, thank you Bastiaan for suggesting filming this and doing it. I could really appreciate every minute of it. My heart could see the embodiment of Tamino´s creative process into the wickerman, each idea of rhythm and lyrics intertwined to sustain the perseverance of its artist in the middle of an empty page. The sneak peek of him tasting his food and knowing it wasn’t ready was just the same as seeing him tasting the new guitar accords and sounds and knowing that they’re not quite yet at the right temperature. Behind all this, the wind never gave up, and neither did the artist. The architecture of his seclusion was perfectly captured by the windy house, as well, and primarily by, the lonely cave as dark as his usual black sweater, keeping the grace of monotony that sets the perfect scenario for the appreciation of design. The flame burning inside the wickerman kindled mine, putting it to beat at the pace of a patient steady drum while walking into a road of anticipation and excitement. This and more, the film talked to me. I can´t wait to hear this second album. Tamino, your music gives a warm sound to life.

[@summerlandbaker6066]

This touched some little feeling deep inside that I haven't felt in awhile.. a little flame haha. something from childhood. I don't know how to explain it really. That quiet space before anyone wakes.. when you're alone with your thoughts, creating worlds, connecting with nature, with the truest form of who you are. Singing to the plants and bugs. I don't know. It pulls at something in me to create again..

[@cristinai4645]

The way "The Longing" just sprang out of his fingers. 💮

[@ruchikarao9643]

This was so cool, insightful and oddly inspiring! Who would've thought hammering on a wooden plank is what gave birth to The Flame. The isolated vocals brought me to tears... suffice to say, I know with certainty that you're going to be my favourite musical artist for forever.

[@ishitaphillip]

This was beyond beautiful! Also, the way I instantly knew it was going to be “the flame” when he started hammering those 🪵

[@delusionalin]

the start was so unexpected. it had me terrified.

[@justinec3253]

15:23 tamino and his music are usually very serious so it’s nice to see him goofing around and playing the first few seconds of drop it like it’s hot lmao it was totally unexpected but a reminder that he’s young and has fun

[@kilforheaven8544]

I hope tamino knows how important his music is to some people. I've been listening to you since the release of your first EP and i have never resonated with another artists music than i have with yours. No piece of art has ever made me stare into the city line as i sat on a bench, forgetting my own thoughts because i was so indulged into the notes. 'Amir' has been through a lot of memories with me, shaped a lot of thoughts and emotions. 'Sahar' came out in a time where i couldn't express myself through my art and i couldn't find any art that i could hold on to. And for a person like me, not having any art to hold on to means losing hold of myself as well. So when i listened to sahar with it's phenomenal instrumentals and oddly resonating lyrics that fit into my situation almost perfectly, i finally could feel an image of myself form once again. I remember thinking to myself 'If a person i dont know and will never know made music that expresses my emotions so relevantly, this means no matter how lost i feel right now im oddly not alone in this existence.' And even if i still struggle with feelings of loneliness, it comforts me that people can somehow be connected through art. I dont know if any of this made sense but thank you Tamino, for making art.

[@cin1885]

I am captivated by observing how natural a creative process can be, it connects with our mind without following what is structured, connecting with the wind, with nature and with the delirious silence, it is beautiful

[@nourlol8672]

This only confirms the fact that he’s a Greek god reincarnated. No wonder he had such a deep connection with an effing cave, something so ancient

[@VictorBLAU]

Dios egipcio, no?

[@levib1751]

I swear tamino could be a soundtrack composer. He beautifully encapsulates the beauty of nature into sound. I hear it in every song he does. Cheers Tamino, we love you 🎉

[@lorenatorquato5047]

Funnily enough, I built a wickerman with two of my best friends on New Year’s Eve. It wasn’t that big, but we set it out to the sea. Sometimes I wonder where did it land, if anywhere at all. This is a beautiful piece of art, very much like different branches coming together unexpectedly.

[@AleynainJungle]

Tamino, thank you for including us in your journey to “The Flame”. Can’t wait to listen your new experiences!

Hats off to tamino and his impressive songrwriting and process, and hats off as well to bastiaan lochs with his beautiful imagery. I am so hit with emotions . I can't even describe it. Thank you for making this week brighter for me.

[@DestinyPogChamp]

I don't know why but the video without context just looks like some sort of Horror documentary, but it's literally just Tamino's creative song writing process.

[@orakulooo]

As a modern-day Hellenist I must say, Tamino gives me such a Hades vibe (this is the first time I'm seeing him smile, and it's because he's inside a friggin cave! lol)

[@balbu4eta]

He is a Scorpio, thus he is ruled by Pluto/ Hades
