"Ballad for heavy lids" out on Midira Records 
—
Ringhof is a solo project by Silvio Bruegger  to explore contemporary experimental electronic music and give mountain landscapes a score.

His new release "Ballad for heavy lids" (Midira Records) is a not rooted in any particular region nor landscape. Travel restictions and lockdowns forced the artist to find his inspiration not in visited places but rather to wander within his own thought cabinet. Ringhof composed "Ballad for heavy lids" in four parts, concieved as an continous ever moving body of work which can be listened as an repeating, never ending sonic experience. It is a journey which lurs you into an universe within you, awards you with vast landscapes of your memories, thoughts, feelings and summons images of places you have almost forgotten. Close your eyes, sleep, dream, cede your weight - repeat.
