Time & Perspective Quote by Eberhard Weber

There is something quietly radical in calling a band a "playground": it reframes artistic work not as careerist ladder-climbing, but as a space you build so you can experiment without asking permission. Eberhard Weber isn t romanticizing chaos; he s describing infrastructure. If the existing scene couldn t hold what he wanted to try, he didn t argue with it he made a container for his own rules, then invited others into it.

The phrase "had to get" carries the tell. This isn t whim, it s necessity: a musician pushed by limitations in the broader ecosystem (venues, labels, ensembles, expectations) to carve out autonomy. "Colours" as a name also tips the hand toward a compositional mindset: timbre, texture, shading the things that get flattened when music gets treated as product rather than process.

Then comes the blunt little deflation: "the air was out of it". No melodrama, no mythology of endless bands, no tortured genius narrative. Just the honest physics of creative projects: they inflate with purpose, then lose pressure. In eight years, a group can exhaust its questions, settle into habits, or feel its risk tolerance drop. Weber makes ending sound like craft, not failure. "It was time to finish" lands like a mature refusal to overstay, to let a once-living project become brand maintenance.

The subtext is artistic dignity: build the playground, play hard, notice when it stops being play, walk away before nostalgia turns into inertia.
