Martin Bonauer, who performs under the name Spiral Core, is a Swiss musician and producer whose roots lie deep in the mysticism of the Waldenburg Valley. Born in Liestal, Martin was artistically influenced by the enchanting landscapes and unique energy of his homeland, which inspired him to create his characteristic “spiral pop” sound, for which he is known today.
Inspired by cult artists such as Depeche Mode and Prince, Martin has created a distinctive sound that combines electronic textures with organic elements. This fusion has resulted in more than 50 songs that appeal to both the heart and the soul. His music embodies this fusion, exploring romantic and thoughtful themes while incorporating enchanting sub-frequencies that create an immersive listening experience.
With Spiral Core, Martin has built more than just a music project: he has created a dedicated community known as the “Spiral Family.” His vision transcends the traditional boundaries of musical genres. He combines his experience in architecture with his sound design to create music that opens up emotional spaces for listeners to immerse themselves in.
“I want my music to be more than just an auditory experience: I want it to be an experience that transforms the spirit,” Martin explains. “When people listen to Spiral Core, I hope they feel the same magnetic pull toward creativity and possibility that I felt as a child in the Waldenburg Valley.”
For the future, Martin sees Spiral Core as a beacon for those seeking authentic, carefully crafted music that bridges the gap between the electronic and acoustic worlds. With each new release, he builds on his artistic foundations, creating soundscapes that resonate with an ever-growing global audience.
