«Everything is in constant change.»
— Noémi Büchi

Following her recent album ‘Does It Still Matter’, Noémi Büchi returns to -OUS with ‘Liquid Bones’, a five-track EP that interlaces sound and poetry, inspired by a verse written by her mother, artist Marie-Christine Büchi:«In the heatgesticulate elasticallytheir bodiesdisappointing the desire to last.»With ‘Liquid Bones’, Noémi Büchi lays her focus on simplicity. ‘Liquid Bones’ marks a directional shift in Büchi’s approach: while her previous albums put structure in the foreground and distinguished themselves through high density, the new material seems lighter and even playfully teases the listener with pop elements, albeit without loosing the conceptual depth that has carved out Büchi’s singular position in today’s musical landscape.

The piano, an instrument Büchi has been embra-cing for the better part of the past two decades, serves as a recurring theme on the five-track EP. Serving as a form-giving and shape-shifting instrument, Büchi extracts a diverse range of sounds: a leading motif, a voice-like element, percussive patterns, atmospheric textures. These are combined with mi-nimal electronics, orchestral sounds, crisp digital textures and Büchi’s signature method of punctuating the compositions with noise accentuations, thus creating a highly dynamic listening experience.

The closing track, finally, introduces Joséphine de Weck’s poetic voice, adding an intimate layer to the EP. Actress and writer de Weck has been the ‘face’ of Büchi’s current audiovisual live show, in which she grants a seemingly intimate view into the actress’ mind. Their track ‘Fair Enough’ expands this collaboration to the next stage.As a whole, ‘Liquid Bones’ continues Noémi Büchi’s study of matter, form and structure. By examining their im-permanence and transience, Büchi emphasises the temporary nature of being.

Noémi Büchi is a Swiss/French sound and sound artist that creates and explores the potential of cross-genre musical structures. Her music is defined by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstrac-tion. She contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation.

LIQUID BONES [-OUS RECORDS 2025]

Following her recent album 'Does It Still Matter', Noémi Büchi returns to -OUS with 'Liquid Bones', a five-track EP that interlaces sound and poetry, inspired by a verse written by her mother:

"In the heat
gesticulate elastically
their bodies
disappointing the desire to last."

With 'Liquid Bones', Noémi Büchi lays her focus on simplicity. 'Liquid Bones' marks a directional shift in Büchi's approach: while her previous albums put structure in the foreground and distinguished themselves through high density, the new material seems lighter and even playfully teases the listener with pop elements, albeit without loosing the conceptual depth that has carved out Büchi's singular position in today's musical landscape.
The piano, an instrument Büchi has been embracing for the better part of the past two decades, serves as a recurring theme on the five-track EP. Serving as a form-giving and shape-shifting instrument, Büchi extracts a diverse range of sounds: a leading motif, a voice-like element, percussive patterns, atmospheric textures. These are combined with minimal electronics, orchestral sounds, crisp digital textures and Büchi's signature method of punctuating the compositions with noise accentuations, thus creating a highly dynamic listening experience.
The closing track, finally, introduces Joséphine de Weck's poetic voice, adding an intimate layer to the EP. Actress and writer de Weck has been the 'face' of Büchi's current audiovisual live show, in which she grants a seemingly intimate view into the actress' mind. Their track 'Fair Enough' expands this collaboration to the next stage.
As a whole, 'Liquid Bones' continues Noémi Büchi's study of matter, form and structure. By examining their impermanence and transience, Büchi emphasises the temporary nature of being.
