Artist's Biography
Ortwin
Wendt is the driving force behind the passionate, and genre-free project
United Duality. Based in Celle, Germany, Wendt leads with skilful guitar
work and strength of songwriting. In addition, he fills out every single
with layers of instrumentation and colour – often through collabs with other
vocalists; always to beautifully engaging and uplifting results.
Despite a notably varied string of influences, United Duality makes music
with clear links to and inspiration from the likes of The Beatles and other
pop-rock creatives of the sixties and seventies. You can hear this approach
across releases – from the experimental rock soundscape of Purple Heron to
the collaborative folk delicacy of See-Saw, there’s something enjoyably
familiar about the United Duality sound; an admirable sense of identity runs
throughout everything.
In recent years, several releases have made the airwaves of numerous indie
radio stations. The historically rooted Sexy Sadie Passed Away and the
instrumental I've Had Enough even made it to number one. An excerpt of
Peanuts could be heard on German's TV channel VOX.
Now, 3 years after the release of his debut album Enlightening Snapshots,
Wendt teamed up with UK singer-songwriter Winkandwoo to pick up where Wendt
left off. Turn The Tide is a calm, peaceful folk tune. The thought-provoking
lyrics ask the question, how can we, as individuals and a society, change
our fate?
For Wendt this release is a positive step in his fight against depression.

Ortwin
Wendt is the driving force behind the passionate, fun, and genre-free
project that is United Duality. Based in Celle, Germany, Wendt leads with
skilful guitar work and strength of songwriting. In addition though, he
fills out every single with layers of instrumentation and colour – often
self-crafted, often through collaborations with other vocalists and
musicians; always to beautifully engaging and uplifting results.
Despite a notably varied string of influences, United Duality makes music
with clear links to and inspiration from the likes of The Beatles and other
pop-rock creatives of the sixties and seventies. You can hear this approach
across releases, even among such strong eclecticism – from the experimental
rock soundscape of Purple Heron to the collaborative folk delicacy of
See-Saw, there’s something enjoyably familiar about the United Duality
sound; an admirable sense of identity runs throughout everything.
In recent years, several original releases have made the airwaves of
numerous independent radio stations. The unmistakable and historically
rooted ‘Sexy Sadie Passed Away’ even made it to number one towards the end
of 2018, over on ‘B.I.G. Indie Giant, South Africa’.
Being naturally connected to this art form, and having already released an
impressive level of new songs, Ortwin Wendt and his creative muse show no
signs of slowing down. A full-length album is expected in the near future –
13 original songs under the title ‘Enlightening Snapshots’. The project will
take listeners on a journey through varied genres and life experiences,
entertaining them yet also closing the gap between artist and audience –
letting you build that understanding and connection that we so often turn to
music for.

The next single to emerge will be a Spanish piece entitled
‘Igual’ – another step in a creatively free direction, and another reason to
let yourself get lost in the endlessly immersive realm of the United Duality
catalogue.
