Oliver Friedli, 1977
After finishing my secondary education and many years of classical training, I spent a semester at the Berklee School of Music in preparation for the years ahead in the vocational section of Swiss Jazzschool in Bern, where I spent four years studying with pianist William Evans.
At the same time I was fascinated by the world of electronic music, which in my case takes its cue from contemporary influences and European jazz movements.
After graduating in January 2005, I decided to delve deeper into the study of music and media art.
I am currently active as an independent musician, composer for my Quartet; The "Three Miles Off", also "Hekiat"; a Quintet of Armenian (world-jazz)music,and a sound designer, and in the meantime I work for the HKB in Bern as a lecturer in sound design and media integration.
