SPLIT updated the biography

  • SPLIT is back.

    More than 40 years after SPLIT was founded, the remaining founding members are bringing the band back together and returning to the stage.

    Rehearsals have already begun, and auditions are currently underway for saxophone and vocals. At the heart of the project are the many original SPLIT compositions from the 1980s and 1990s – reinterpreted with today’s energy and complemented by new material.

    The unmistakable SPLIT sound – a powerful blend of funk, jazz-rock and fusion – is not just meant to live on as part of the band’s history, but to return to where it truly belongs: live on stage.

    The first concerts are planned for 2027.

    SPLIT 2027:
    Ulrich Meldau – keyboards
    Johann Bernard – drums
    Christian Bohren – bass

Lily Sollors updated the biography

  • With her powerful, deep voice, Lily Sollors naturally transforms life’s emotions into songs that are as intense as they are intimate. Drawing on a background in musical theater and jazz, she developed a broad and diverse artistic palette early on.

    Lily decided to form her own band to share her original songs with audiences. In 2024, she took part in the Emergence Studio program (supported by the City of Lausanne and Artefax) to record her debut EP, "Breathe", blending rock, pop, and folk influences.

    Following the EP's release, the band sought to explore new sounds. Influenced by modern jazz and indie rock, Lily Sollors’ new compositions push sonic and vocal boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in the emotions conveyed through her lyrics. A fresh energy best experienced live on stage.

 

Terry Blue updated the biography

  • Terry Blue - Leo Pusterla (vocals, guitars, synths and live processing) & Eleonora Gioveni (backing vocals, synths) - is an indie-folk/electro-pop duo from Lugano, Switzerland. Deeply influenced by artists such as Ben Howard, Bon Iver, James Blake and Leonard Cohen, composer and songwriter Leo Pusterla is always on the edge of a musical genre definition.
    After the release of "Chronicles of a Decline" in 2023 and its following UK tour, Terry Blue returned in 2025 with the new album "Lakewoods" and an extended Europe Tour featuring shows in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy & Czech Republic.
    In 2026 Terry Blue published "Ultimo Fiume" featuring Fabio Pusterla's voice and poems and presented it with 11 concerts around Italy and Switzerland. Both releases featured various well known musicians and performers such as Fabio Pinto (Monte Mai), Zeno Gabaglio (Niton), Andrea Manzoni (Migrantes), Christian Gilardi (Panighiröl) and Matteo Mazza (Diaspro).

Marta updated the biography

  • Entre douceur et mélancolie, Marta dévoile un univers unique qui bouscule les
    émotions. Depuis son plus jeune âge, elle écrit des chansons lorsqu’elle sent
    qu’elle ne peut pas exprimer ses sentiments autrement : des accords simples
    au piano et un cahier sont tout ce dont elle a besoin. Artiste en devenir, elle ne
    se définit pas dans une seule case, mais explore divers sons, tout en voulant
    toucher l’auditeur avec des paroles simples mais percutantes.

bona rhodes updated the biography

  • With a tender spark of rebellion, bona rhodes set out to play warm-hearted indie folk.
    The celestial, all seeing trout hail from Zurich/Winterthur, Switzerland.

    Through interwoven three part harmonies and an organic palette of stringed instruments, they spin a delicate, earth-toned tapestry of sound. Their music is described as a fire that flares and falls apart, until the wind carries its final embers over soft, rolling hills.

 

Deborah updated the biography

  • With over 1.1 million views and 100,000 subscribers on YouTube achieved in just one year with only 8 tracks, Deborah’s independent project demonstrates an outstanding conversion rate and impact on the audience.

    This strong visual traction is driven by hits such as "Scent of Your Skin" (250K views) and "Love wins" (140K views).

    A powerful voice and competitive production make Deborah a high-potential profile for Swiss radio, television programming, and live festivals.

 

LA SIRENA aka Linah Rocio updated the biography

  • LA SIRENA – The Sorceress Dreaming
    With The Sorceress Dreaming, Chilean artist LA SIRENA presents a deeply personal body of work shaped by an organic creative process — a collection of songs rooted in loss and love, transformation and surrender. Written, composed, performed and produced by Carolina Stiles, the album brings together her distinctive voice, piano-driven songwriting, and an instinctive approach to creating music.
    Behind LA SIRENA is Carolina Stiles — singer, pianist, songwriter and producer. Under the name Linah Rocio, she released a series of albums and EP, including All About Secrets, Warrior Talk (Aveline Records, London), Keep Your Grace, and Armour and the Universe with Linah Rocio & The Lighthearted. 
LA SIRENA represents a new chapter in her artistic path — a name that emerged intuitively and reflects the place she finds herself in today.
    The starting point for The Sorceress Dreaming was a single fifteen-minute composition. 
Originally intended as a standalone recording, the piece soon developed a momentum of its own, becoming the catalyst for an album that brought together songs written over time into a new and cohesive whole.
    Trust in the process became central. The core of the album was recorded live at Humm Studio in Bristol with British bassist Dave Ayre and Swiss drummer Eddie Walker over the course of four days. Time was limited. The core arrangements were carefully prepared by Carolina, who entered the sessions with a clear vision and a strong sense of the emotional direction of the work. Working closely with the band, the arrangements were then brought to life in the studio, leaving space for spontaneous decisions that allowed the songs to breathe. Six songs were captured this way, with two more following later. In an industry often shaped by endless revision and the pursuit of perfection, that immediacy became one of the defining qualities of the record.
    From the very beginning, the album was shaped by the contributions of Dave Ayre (UK) and Eddie Walker (UK/CH). Dave, based in Stroud (UK), brings a wealth of experience from collaborations with artists such as Joni Mitchell and Muse, as well as work with Hans Zimmer and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Eddie, originally from England but based in Switzerland, is an accomplished drummer well known in the Swiss music scene, performing with acts including Martin Schenkel, Gigi Moto, Back From Mars and Rotosphere. The album was further enriched by contributions from guitarist Jean Pierre von Dach (CH), whose work includes collaborations with Joss Stone and Gigi Moto; trumpet player and improviser Silvan Schmid (CH) of The Gamut Kollektiv; South African artist Brendan Adams; and Swiss singer-songwriter Timothy Jaromir (CH) of Goldschatz.
    The album's final sonic landscape was shaped through mixing and mastering by Simon Kistler from Switzerland (Sina, Vera Kaa, Anna Rossinelli). Working closely with LA SIRENA, he crafted a sound that is warm, spacious and quietly immersive, while preserving the immediacy of the live performances.
    Musically, The Sorceress Dreaming moves between contemporary pop, intimate songwriting and expansive sonic landscapes. The title track forms the album’s cinematic centre, while the album reveals LA SIRENA’s signature blend of raw emotional honesty, poetic language, and evocative storytelling.
    The Sorceress Dreaming is an album about transformation, connection, and the delicate balance between intention and discovery — where carefully shaped songs leave room for something unexpected to emerge.

La Mosca updated the biography

  • Je m'appelle Giacomo Lepori, de mon nom d'artiste Arturo La Mosca. Je vis à Lugano et je suis professeur d'éducation musicale au sein de l'établissement scolaire de cette même ville. Je ne me souviens pas exactement quand j'ai commencé à jouer du saxo, c'était peut-être au début de la deuxième ou de la troisième année de collège. Mon premier professeur a été Giacomo Rota, à l'école de la Civica de Lugano. J'ai étudié avec lui jusqu'à la fin du lycée. En 1985, lors de ma deuxième tentative, j'ai réussi l'examen d'entrée au conservatoire de Zurich et j'ai intégré la classe de saxophone du professeur Urs Schoch. J'ai étudié avec lui le répertoire classique de l'école française jusqu'à l'obtention de mon diplôme professionnel en 1990. De 1990 à 1995, j'ai travaillé comme professeur de saxophone au Tessin ; j'ai étudié et occasionnellement joué en public la Partita en la mineur pour flûte ainsi que certaines sonates pour violoncelle de J.S. Bach. En 1996, mon ami Pascal m'a offert un séquenceur et c'est avec cet outil que j'ai commencé, en autodidacte, à étudier l'improvisation. En mars 1998, j'ai commencé à documenter mon parcours à travers une série de CD audio uniques et numérotés intitulée « studi » (études), de l'opus 1 jusqu'à l'opus 128, qui date de mars 2004. Depuis l'automne 2007, je documente la suite de mon parcours sur ce profil Mx3. Fin juillet 2026, j'ai commencé à enregistrer une deuxième série de CD audio uniques et numérotés, intitulée « studi gravitazionali » (études gravitationnelles), que je documente ici de manière sporadique.

AG360822 updated the biography

  • Rock-Pop-Indie-Grunge-Sause!

    AG360822 – vier Mannen, fünf Jahrzehnte, null Berührungsängste
    AG360822 sind vier gestandene Herren, die sich nicht mehr ganz an ihre Jugend erinnern können – dafür aber ziemlich genau an die Hits von damals. Und die bringen sie heute wieder auf die Bühne. 😎

    Die Band gibt’s seit vier Jahren. Gestartet als Dreierpack, haben die Jungs bereits so manches Konzert im In- und Ausland gerockt. Seit rund einem halben Jahr ist AG360822 nun zu viert unterwegs. Das bedeutet: mehr Sound, mehr Stimmen, mehr Spass – und natürlich mehr Männer auf der Bühne.

    Musikalisch geht’s querbeet durch die letzten fünf Jahrzehnte. Elvis, Oasis, Kim Wilde, Polo Hofer und viele weitere grosse Namen stehen auf dem Speiseplan. Von Rock über Pop bis zu den Songs, bei denen plötzlich jeder im Publikum den Text kennt – zumindest beim Refrain.

    Denn genau darum geht’s bei AG360822: Musik, die nicht im Hintergrund herumsteht, sondern Beine macht. Tanzen, mitsingen, abrocken oder einfach mit einem Bier in der Hand zufrieden nicken – alles erlaubt.

    Und wer ist für den musikalischen Unfug verantwortlich?

    Tombo – Gesang & Gitarre. Hält die Saiten und die Stimmung oben.
    Dazi – Drums & Background-Vocals. Kitzelt die Felle und singt dabei auch noch verdächtig gut.
    Rapha – Bass & Background-Vocals. Zupft untenrum ordentlich und singt ganz niedlich – sagen zumindest die anderen.
    Heiner – Frontgesang. Frontal ins Mikrofon, ohne Angst und ohne Rückwärtsgang.

    Vier Typen, jede Menge Klassiker, fünf Jahrzehnte Musikgeschichte und eine ordentliche Portion Spielfreude.

    AG360822 – die etwas andere Coverband.
    Nicht jünger geworden. Aber definitiv lauter. 🤘
