Port Fish is an electronic music band from Košice, Slovakia, formed by Tomáš Rendek and Ľuboš Tilka.
Origins
Tomáš and Ľuboš have known each other from their childhood. Their first steps with music happened at school of arts – Tomáš learning to play the violin while Ľuboš started with the flute and guitar. After several years of growing on classical music, Tomáš continued his studies at the School of Music aiming to become a professional musician. Ľuboš finished his musical education playing in a group named Queentet.
During his studies at School of Music, Tomáš – influenced by music of Tears for Fears, A-ha, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Yes, and other bands – started playing the keyboards in a local Christian rock band called Silence. Silence released two regular albums and played a number of live performances across the country.
At this time, Ľuboš – inspired by bands such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, New Order, Art of Noise, The Orb and 808 State – began his own musical experiments with his computer. Composing music for computer games and demos initially, he continued working with synthesizers and produced three unreleased albums under the name of the PACIfiC.
After a few years spent on their own projects, Tomáš and Ľuboš met again and quickly realized that their visions of music had much in common. Their musical ideas were transformed into reality with the PACIfiC, a new project adopting the name of Ľuboš's legacy solo project. With the number of other bands of the same name, the PACIfiC was soon renamed to Port Fish.
After two years of composing and recording, Port Fish's debut album titled Empire Of Silence was brought to life. In spite of positive feedback from several independent media representatives, Port Fish failed to get signed by any major label, thus the album was self-released by Port Fish in November 2006.[1]
