We Are Alone Together - Live in Inowroclaw, December 8th, 2007
The name of the group originates from the Latin word "quidam" meaning "someone, a human being" and refers to the poem "Quidam" by Cyprian Kamil Norwid, perhaps the most intriguing of the Polish romantic poets. The title hero of that poem is a man looking for his place in life, searching for goodness and truth.
The band was founded in 1991 when Maciek Meller, Radek Scholl and Rafal Jermakow met and decided to play together. Soon they were joined by Zbyszek Florek. They played as Deep River then (they changed their name to Quidam only in 1995) and offered a mixture of hard rock and blues.
The change in the musical direction was evident when the band was joined by the flautist Ewa Smarzyska. Both the style of their compositions and the sound began to change, evolving into a more refined form of rock. The songs, full of long instrumental parts and musical poetry were now directed towards more sensitive and demanding listeners. The listeners who love moods created once by Camel, King Crimson (in their early phase), Genesis, Pink Floyd, Renaissance and many others.
From the very beginning Quidam members set for themselves a very ambitious task: to reach with their difficult music the biggest possible audience and find acclaim with the critics.
Numerous awards at several music festivals in Poland and abroad, music polls and invitations to play with renowned artists are an irrefutable proof that their goals have been achieved.
So far, Quidam have released the following albums:
Quidam (1996)
Angels' Dreams (1998)
Baja Prog - Live in Mexico '99 (1999)
The Time Beneath The Sky (2002)
surREvival (2005)
The Fifth Season - Live In Concert (2006)
…halfPLUGGED... (2006)
Alone Together (2007)
Their brand new release, scheduled for November 5th 2007, is titled "Alone Together". It talks about different kinds of loneliness and estrangement, about being "alone together" in various sorts of relationships, and features the best of what Quidam have to offer and, at the same time, what their fans love them for – splendid melodies and lush arrangements.

Mamy zaszczyt wtedy supportować amerykańską, post-rockową grupę CONSTANTS. Ten koncert to coś dla miłośników takich kapel jak Caspian, ISIS, czy 65daysofstatic, oraz wszystkich kochających zarówno mocne, przesterowane uderzenie, jak i hipnotyzującą gitarową muzę.
hi! iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape. we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try. but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...
H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
