The Swiss born musician’s creations are inspired by his free imagination and a rich life spent admiring his country’s natural beauty.

Born Silvan Salzmann in 1978, Sil van Ried took to music at a young age. In lieu of a traditional music education, he taught himself how to make electronic music, relying on his instincts and adventurous sense of melody to create his own sound. His talents soon made him a mainstay on his country’s electronic music scene, as he graduated from small clubs to huge national festivals.

He continued to create melodies and rhythms during his rare idle hours. These sounds would soon become the foundation of his artistic rebirth.
