i’m interested in the synergetic exchange of experience and in processes dealing with improvisation, listening, nature and philosophical/social/political questions; implementing the interaction with space(s), using synthetic and acoustic sound sources and field recordings.

Tobias Meier is a musician and artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. He regularly performs internationally, for instance with Silvan Jeger as "Cold Voodoo", with singer Dalia Donadio or as Through States of Matter in changing settings. Tobias Meier has written and performed various works for solo saxophone, as well as composed music for contemporary music ensembles and performed various scenic sound-performances. As a composer and improviser, he is interested in architectural gestures: the scenarios and methods of design, the setting of tonal coordinates, along which, the music gradually develops. For him, this process entails an irreducible experience that is to be re-engaged with again and again. For him, generating a musical space of sounds, time and pitches represents an event, rather than anything autocratic or finished: he explains that only the listener completes the music and assembles it to form a whole. For precisely this reason, he considers the shaping of music on an organisational, receptive and discursive level to be just as important as the actual playing of music. As organiser of the concert series Seismogram and the Wiediker Jazzfest, as co-founder of the self-run label Wide Ear Records, as editor of a zine for musicians (first released in 2015) and by designing and making his own CD and LP covers, he quite tangibly shapes the appearance and framework conditions of music. What lies behind all this engagement is not only the immense love and passion that he obviously feels towards music, for which he keeps taking new risks, but also the ongoing implementation and further development of his ideas.

Ester Poly! Psychedelic Experimental Punk Clash! This golden combination consists of bassist Martina Berther and drummer Béatrice Graf. 
A clash of two women from different generations and genres, exploding the chains of traditional music styles. The bass strikes angry orgies of distortion with the bow, the drums beat the soul into erotic fields - always edgy with a political message and an antitypical attitude. Is that jazz? Is it Rock'n'Roll? No idea - but definitely Ester Poly!

Since 2007 the Fischermanns Orchestra has been
running through the streets, spicing up stages and
festivals all over Europe. The incredible, unstoppable
Fischermanns Orchestra is always on the move,
musically free and footloose. The Fischermanns
Orchestra draws upon many different cultural
influences and inspiration to form its own distinctive
sound, which is in constant flux, changing as the
musical evolution takes its course. A conscious risk is
taken to sail through deep waters without
compromise.
