CT0815's debut release Times And Tides is a relaxing dreamlike soundscape, with a mix of different styles somewhere between LTJ Bukem, Café Del Mar, Aphex Twin, and Robert Miles with Orchestral-, Buddhist- , and Jazz- elements.

Recorded in multiple locations in Taiwan in 2004/ 2005, Times And Tides was released in June, 2005.

Allen Morris, the sole artist of CT0815, is resident of Germany, California, and Taiwan. Traveling amongst the different cultures has greatly influenced the creation of Times And Tides, the latest influence being the Buddhist music played in vegetarian restaurants all over Taiwan.

Allen grew up studying folk and classical guitar and played flute in an Orchestra in his teens. Later on he played electric guitar and bass. Not interested in monotonous beat driven techno, Allen originally had an aversion towards electronic music; until he found that electronic music had niches that could well be original and exiting. Eventually Allen found the perfect tool in computers and started experimenting with digital music creation.

Allen recorded the CT0815 debut Times And Tides on his Laptop, enjoying endless studio time and flexibility: "I find the digital music creation possibilities on a good laptop amazing. I can do things I would not have dreamed of a few years ago". Besides the guitar samples used in the songs Times And Tides and Blue Mountain, which have been played by Allen himself, no sound loops have been used on the Album: "My main goal was to create something new and different. I believe by using samples originality would have suffered substantially".
