Following the highly acclaimed 'Fading' in 2021, Pole continues his release series for Mute in 2022 with a new album, 'Tempus'. Pole is a Düsseldorf-native musician, producer and mastering engineer Stefan Betke, and is known for his unique musical language oscillating between melody and avante-garde in electronic music, with audible influences from Dub and Jazz music.

While the subject of 'Fading' focussed on coping with dementia and the loss of memory over time, 'Tempus' focuses on the connection between the past, the present and the future. Translating to 'tense' in English, 'Tempus' investigates whether music that was created in the past, can still be audible and influential for the present, and how much can this music shine into the future.
