October 2014

5th October 2014 by Catherine Leave a Comment

Catherine is listening (and currently chilling out) to the track “Splendid”, by jazz violinist Tobias Preisig (featuring trombonist Michael Flury). Preisig is from Zurich and studied at the Swiss Jazz School in Bern. Catherine has never seen this artist play live, but hopes to one day.

David is currently listening to Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp. The band themselves admit on their website that this title is a bit of a mouthful, but explain it is in homage to two other bands from West Africa and also to the French/American painter.  More info here. The band itself play a mixture of rock, punk and pop. They started as a one night event in Geneva and have evolved into a full blown band with a few changes in line up since they first began. This track below “It Looked Shorter On the Map” is from their third album “Rotorotor”. They are currently touring France. David is also listening to Anna Aaron and her track “Linda”. See videos below of both artists.

David also really likes Steff la Cheffe, see video of the track”Ha ke Ahnig” below which was filmed in Cape Town in South Africa. Steffe is from Bern and sings and raps in dialect. David saw La Cheffe at Label Suisse (a three day music event purely dedicated to Swiss artists). Cheffe was part of a Romand Hip-hop project called One Track Live (cover of Hip-hop classics by Swiss best rap artists) and says she was “by far one of the finest artists on stage”.

Band discoveries this month.

Catherine – I came across the human beatboxer Koqa Cyclic Oscillation at Paléo this year. This talented artist (with rather a complicated band name) from La Chaux-de-Fonds in the canton of Neuchâtel, had the Club Tent transfixed on the Friday night of the festival. See video of him below.

David – I’m currently listening to the band From Kid from Bern. See their video below of the track “Sun”.

What David is listening to this month – “Keep On” by Rootwords.

David explains; Rootwords is a solo singer who originally hails from New York where he was born to Zambian parents.  He came to Switzerland when his parents moved to Versoix (near Geneva) to work here.  He mixes music influences from hip-hop with his Christian education.  I like his music and his hip-hop sounds aren’t aggressive, they are respectful of fellow human beings”.

What Catherine is currently listening to – the “Choo Choo” song (the SBB song) by Brandy Butler. Catherine explains; “Coincidentally, just like David,  I have also chosen an artist that was born in the U.S.A. but who now resides in Switzerland (she lives in Zurich).

This is a fun song, who knew you could rhyme SBB (the German acronym for the Swiss train network) with the word “today”! This song is mainly in English interspersed with a bit of German. Love the video that accompanies this song with the 50’s look and the backing singers. This song has been out for a while but it’s new to me! Brandy has a lovely, strong soul voice. Check out some of her other songs on her site
