ramur

Album Release «en casa veglia»

As the name suggests, the album &quot;en casa veglia&quot; was created in an old house in the village of Gün. The former farmhouse is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, unspoilt nature, mountains, streams, forests and meadows. With your eyes closed, the surroundings are no less intoxicating. If you listen instead of just looking, you will be rewarded with a vast variety of sounds. This modern jazz quartet, led by double bass player Vito Cadonau, does not discriminate against &quot;noise&quot; as such, but appreciates and uses it as a musical treasure. After all, the Romansh word &quot;ramur&quot; means nothing less than &quot;noise&quot;.

Album Release «Domodossola – Weissmies»

&quot;In Domodossola, I was able to play my drumsticks on everything, the street lamps, the electricity boxes, the road signs,&quot; says Julian Sartorius, who is climbing the Weissmies (4017 metres above sea level) in the Valais from the Italian village of Domodossola (272 metres above sea level) on his new album &quot;Hidden Tracks&quot;. The sounds change the higher Sartorius climbs: Not only do the sounds of the city and the villages disappear, but nature also changes and becomes increasingly barren. This solo project takes us on a (sonic) journey into the heights – don&#x27;t forget your provisions and good footwear!

FRAME.OUT

Victoria Mozalevskaya

A woman. A musician. A mother. A 37-year-old. A foreigner. Because of our identities, we often feel compelled, consciously or unconsciously, to fit into predetermined patterns. FRAME.OUT is a musical storytelling about personal boundaries and social conventions. Victoria Mozalevskaya invites the audience on a journey that explores the facets of life. Together with singer Song Yi Jeon, whose voice captivates the audience, and the energetic, innovative sound of the duo Lada Obradovic and David Tixier, the quartet delves deep into its musical world – into complex grooves and experimental sound formation in the context of contemporary jazz. It is an exploration of the individual stories that make the four musicians who they are and how they reflect the world through their music.

Fractura

Simon Grab – Videoex im Walcheturm

Fractura is a transdisciplinary investigation that originates from the sound world of the artist Simon Grab. It explores the creation of a collapsed ecosystem through changes, discontinuities and ruptures. The piece is inspired by the destruction of ecosystems caused by the extractivist capitalist system, specifically focusing on the oil extraction process called Fracking. This method, illegal in many countries worldwide, is currently in use in Argentina, particularly in the Vaca Muerta formation located in the province of Neuquén. It has direct effects on biota and the population, causing precarious living conditions immersed in these new anthropogenic landscapes. Through Simon’s raw sounds, Fractura creates a dystopia, a space where a rupture occurs in the natural balance, in temporal frameworks, a system failure opening an energetic channel to a liminal space where life becomes toxic. A creature explores this new space, either framed by the screen or projecting itself within it. The combination of these diverse materialities translates into a choreography of pulsating forces struggling between connection and disconnection, synchrony and desynchronization, creating the complexity and dynamism of this new world. Concert location: Kunstraum Walcheturm, Kanonengasse 20, 8004 Zürich

Abate Berihun is a prolific saxophonist, composer and vocalist, a prominent Ethiopian musicians, who has toured and collaborated with musical giants such as Mulatu Astatke, Mahmoud Ahmed and Gigi. He is also the founder and leader of influential afro-jazz and ethnic ensembles “Tezeta”, “Ras Dashen” and “Kuluma”. Addis Ken – አዲስ ቀን (“New Day” in Amharic) – is the new musical project of Abate Berihun and pianist Roy Mor, and it is all about soulful groove, spiritual search and heartfelt blues. Along with bassist David Michaeli and drummer Amir Bar Akiva, the group brings to the stage original music that fuses Jewish-Ethiopian soul music and prayers passed through the generations with ageless spiritual and mysterious texts. The result is “a thrilling encounter between ancient Ethiopian traditions and the legacy of a modern jazz ensemble, steeped in musical adventurousness, deep groove, and the spirit of the blues.” The group has performed internationally in clubs and festivals in Denmark, Panama and Canada, as well as at the Red Sea Jazz Festival in Eilat and at the international Jerusalem Jazz Festival; and in 2020, they won the Israeli Ministry of Culture’s highest artistic grant.

Moods & On The Corner Records present

What a pleasure to see a band that has just formed! The trio&#x27;s first album has already been recorded and is just waiting to be released. We already know at least two of the musicians from other formations: Saxophonist, clarinetist and flutist Tamar Osborn was the leader of the band Collocutor, Eddie Wakili-Hicks was the drummer and producer of Sons of Kemet and Wojtek Mazolewski is a celebrated bassist from Poland. Together they create a very unique sound, with quiet soundscapes evolving into groovy and extremely powerful passages.

Pete OntheCorner’s Mangrove Shakedown

The international London label OntheCorner is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Moods is taking this as an opportunity to invite intrepid label boss DJ Pete On the Corner to host a quarterly residency. As DJ, Pete will continue the evening with his Interstellar House Parties and Mangrove Shakedowns throughout the series.

Kolektif Istanbul

&quot;Progressive&quot; and &quot;wedding music&quot; are two terms that don&#x27;t normally go hand in hand, but both apply to the music of Kolektif Istanbul. Progressive, because jazz and funk elements meander through Anatolian melodies and Balkan rhythms. Wedding music, because Kollektiv Istanbul&#x27;s songs invite you to dance and party, and the more guests there are, the better the party!

Ilan Jamon

Afterparti

Global Beats way beyond the Balkan borders: with the BalkanEkstra Parti there are no stops for Oriental sounds or Arabian rhythms – what’s important is the motto: danceable! For over twenty years, Ilan Jamon has been inviting all the party people to dance with him, anyone who thinks outside the box, loves the strange, celebrates the familiar and has lost their heart to partying together. Where the journey will take us through the night is unclear, but one thing is certain: dancing until the hips hurt, the feet burn and the stars dissolve with the dawn.

Nolan Quinn Quintet

Melodious and accessible: jazz trumpeter Nolan Quinn from Ticino plays catchy melodies and brings out the most diverse tone colours from the trumpet, whereby his sound never loses its warmth and softness. The Nolan Quinn Quintet plays jazz that sometimes takes a trip to hard bop, Broadway music or the blues. Simple compositions form the basis, which are further developed live by the improvisational power and spontaneity of the musicians around Nolan Quinn.  

José James presents 1978

José James is the epitome of modern jazz, but it almost came to nothing: The singer used to be an ardent supporter of hip-hop. It was only later that he worked his way through Nat King Cole to John Coltrane until he created his incomparable blend of jazz, soul, drum&#x27;n&#x27;bass and spoken word. Soulful trees are now growing on this soil, where the New York style chameleon with the fine voice can let off steam – and is difficult to capture!

Heidi Happy feat. The Chor

Album Release «Nid für Ewig»

After performing with Stephan Eicher and Patent Ochsner, the songwriter from Lucern is back on the road with her own band and is bringing her new album “Nid für Ewig” and the freshly pressed live version on vinyl to Moods! Folky singer-songwriter ballads, spherically dreamy hippie worlds and synth-pop with French charm - it&#x27;s all there. Sometimes very calm and unagitated, sometimes so moving that it&#x27;s hard not to dance along or howl with emotion. We are looking forward to a unique and emotional evening, also thanks to the participation of the choir &quot;The Chor&quot; from Zürich, lead by Heidi&#x27;s sister Anet Zemp.

Disk Jockey

Enji

Mongolian singer Enji first came into contact with jazz at the Goethe-Institut in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. She later studied jazz singing in her adopted home of Munich, where she now also realized her new album Ulaan (2023). The reactions to the album were overwhelming: #1 in the Washington Post, Best Jazz Albums of 2023 in the New York Times and hhv-mag. This spring, singer Enji will be touring Europe for the first time as a trio with guitarist Paul Brändle and River Adomeit on double bass: sensitive chamber jazz that meets the folklore of Mongolia.

Afrobeats Explosion

The Afrobeats scene has virtually exploded in recent years, which is also reflected in the lively party scene that has developed around this genre. At the forefront from the beginning: &quot;Afrobeats Explosion&quot; at Moods. From its origins with Fela Kuti in the 70s to Wizkid – get ready for a special kind of dance explosion!

Marcel Lüscher Quartett

Marcel Lüscher, Björn Meyer, Thomas Lüscher und Kaspar Rast

The mahogany sky. There is no time. Floods of sound images. Unpolluted. The four musicians are excellent players, yes, but above all they are exceptional listeners with observant reflexes. Elastic provocateurs who manage to maintain the tension with intensity and refinement. The two ECM artists Kaspar Rast and Björn Meyer succeed in achieving flights of fancy despite their down-to-earth approach thanks to their many years of collaboration on Ronin and Asita Hamidis Bazar. The transformative power of music can be felt immediately with Kaspar and Björn. Marcel and Thomas have been playing together since Thomas was 10 minutes old. Other dimensions. Time does not exist. The secret of the future is certain. Good hours are dripping from the sky these days when these four musicians are on stage!

Irina Ungureanu

«Lieder aus dem Schneckenhaus» feat. Anna Trauffer

A double premiere! Irina Ungureanu and Anna Trauffer will be on stage together for the first time. And: Irina Ungureanu will also perform her own songs in Swiss German for the first time. But Romanian folk songs from her childhood will also find a place in the programme. The two musicians will accompany each other with a multi-instrumental setup ranging from violin and zither to piano and various objects. You can look forward to a poetic, thoughtful, smiling and sometimes bizarre evening of words, sounds and songs.

Glass Harp

Etran De L'Aïr

Welcome to Agadez, the capital of Saharan rock! With her dynamic repertoire of hypnotic solos and sun-bleached melodies, Etran de L&#x27;Aïr has earned themself a permanent place in the guitar music of Agadez. While other Tuareg guitarists are oriented towards western rock, Etran de L&#x27;Aïr plays a pan-African style that is typical of their home town and quotes a variety of cultural influences: from northern Malian blues to Hausa bar bands to Congolese soukous. The music evokes the exuberance of a wedding in Agadez, with an overwhelming abundance of guitars, while simultaneous solos sweep over each other playfully and with restrained precision; powerful but never exuberant. Supported by the Südkulturfonds.

Linda & Lukas Vogel

Linda Vogel

Few classical instruments are as clichéd as the harp: This instrument of the gods is said to sound sensual, harmonious, fragile, even ethereal. But Swiss musician Linda Vogel proves that the harp can also produce quite different sounds as well. Together with her brother Lukas Vogel, who is part of the internationally successful piano-electronica duo Grandbrothers, she now takes a much more powerful, darker, industrial approach. Using synthesizers and effect devices, electronic and acoustic, machine and organic, strings and oscillators merge - always carried by a third instrument that runs through the songs: Linda Vogel&#x27;s voice, dark, repetitive, hypnotic. Attend all three evenings with the Carte Blanche Festival Pass for CHF 49, which you can book via our ticketing portal.

Space Echo der Zeit

Domi Chansorn

Together with Tillman Ostendarp, the drum triptych of Domi Chansorn, Arthur Hnatek and Mario Hänni seek enlightenment in the eternally repetitive waters of woody primal beats and mutually shifting odd meters. Join them on an exhilarating adventure and discover new heights and depths of groove. Jack of all trades or child prodigy? One thing is clear: Domi Chansorn is one of the most exciting figures on the Swiss music scene. The singer, drummer, guitarist, pianist and composer is a musician with every fibre of his being. He plays jazz and avant-garde pop as well as prog rock and thoughtful songwriting material, sometimes psychedelic rock, sometimes electronic, dark and emotional.

The musicians Russudan Meipariani, Tamriko Kordzaia, Lena Kiepenheuer and scenographer Sophie Krayer, who have come together from (almost) all corners of the globe - Georgia, Switzerland and Germany - to form an eclectic ensemble, create a play with song forms from different epochs: They combine songs and playing styles, bring in Franz Schubert and Guillaume de Machaut and premiere music by Georgian composers such as Anushka Chkheidze, Nika Machaidze, Russudan Meipariani and Natalie Beridze. Natalie Beridze will also take part in the performance of her own pieces written for Ensemble Kiosk. Attend all three festival evenings with the Carte Blanche Festival Pass for CHF 49, which you can book via our ticketing portal.

Anna & Stoffner mit Membrez und Mantel

Anna Frey

The band Anna &amp; Stoffner with Membrez and Mantel captivates with a highly energetic interplay of virtuoso musicians and urgent, unsparing lyrics. Rapper Anna Frey and guitarist Flo Stoffner, with Vincent Membrez on synthesizers and Lukas Mantel on drums, develop an intensity that is hard to resist. «Less than little is nothing, but little is more than nothing, little makes a difference.» This band is not afraid of the void and does not cover it up, but faces it, follows it and thus develops its own language, with driving grooves, poppy melodies, free improvisation, idiosyncratic guitars and dark, engaging basses. Rapper Anna Frey moves over this musical diversity with her poetic lyrics. Sometimes in singsong, sometimes in harsh phrasing. Always in search of the immediate expression.

Midlife

Rafael Schilt

The elegance of Paris meets the creativity of Zurich. Rafael Schilt and François Lana, two masters of their craft, compose their music together and let it shine on stage like stars in the night sky. Their music tells stories of love, loss and hope that flow directly from their hearts and touch the souls of their listeners. Rafael Schilt is as versatile as he is inspired - his compositions borrow elements from pop and modern dance music as well as from free contemporary improvisation - and his stage partners include Nils Wogram, Norbert Pfammatter, Colin Vallon, Bänz Oester and Kurz Rosenwinkel, to name but a few.

Os Barbapapas

Imagine Fela Kuti jamming in an bar in a nameless, global metropolis with Martin Denny, but it is on glass harp… While this might sound like a sensationalist figment of an over-heated music journalist’s brain, it is not too far from what Os Barbapapas are able to achieve. The band from the music metropolis of Sao Paulo is named after the iconic but weird cartoon series from the 1970s. And the band members are just as amorphous and shapeshifting as the characters in the series: they learned gnawa in Morocco, have performed in circuses and built various instruments of their own. On their new album, appropriately named Enigma, the original seed of Os Barbapapas&#x27; global underground vibes comes to full bloom.

Akutuk Origins

Moods Summer Special in der Barfussbar

Akutuk is a percussion technique from Cameroon: water is used as an instrument, played with bare hands and accompanied by singing. It is an exclusively female practice that is passed down from woman to woman over generations. The Akutuk Origins project aims to revive this almost lost cultural heritage and make it visible in public spaces. A hypnotic but surprisingly versatile sound that will unfold its full power in the wonderful setting of the Barfussbar. Supported by the Südkulturfonds. Concert location: Barfussbar Frauenbad Stadthausquai, Stadthausquai 12, 8001 Zürich

Marcos Valle

Moods Summer Special

What an anniversary! In the year of his 80th birthday, Marcos Valle is also celebrating sixty years on stage. The Brazilian composer, producer, songwriter and musician belongs to the second generation of bossa nova and his 1998 album Nova Bossa Nova became a model for Brazilian electro and contemporary Brazilian jazz. Look forward to a danceable concert full of Brazilian rhythms, from samba and bossa nova to psychedelic Música Popular Brasileria, enriched with jazz improvisations, funk and disco rhythms. And last but not least, hits like &#x27;Summer Samba&#x27; and &#x27;Estrelar&#x27; that will catapult you straight into that beach holiday feeling.

Brushy One String

One man, one guitar, one string: that&#x27;s enough for the Jamaican singer to create an entire musical universe. Since his portraits in the award-winning film documentaries RiseUp and The King of One String, thousands of amazed listeners have succumbed to the charm of his songs; whether he is performing unplugged at a market in Jamaica, at New Orleans &amp; Heritage or at Global Fest in New York in front of a large audience. With a unique personality and his raw yet grandiose style, he immediately captivates the audience and skillfully uses his charismatic baritone voice combined with hypnotic, bouncy grooves on his one-string acoustic guitar.

Amsterdam Klezmer Band

The name says it all: the Amsterdam Klezmer Band plays klezmer and adds a pinch of jazz, Balkan or gypsy to the mix. The band started out as a group of street musicians in 1996 and has played countless live shows since then. In February 2024, they released their twentieth album &quot;Bomba Pop&quot;, which was produced by Ulf Lindemann aka Dunkelbunt. The sound on it is as we know it and yet it is so much more: beats that range from dub to hip-hop to dance music also like to sneak in. A danceable journey around the world!

Banjo

La Sonora Mazurén

La Sonora Mazurén are the latest representatives of Bogotá&#x27;s lively alternative music scene. The seven musicians are influenced by traditional rhythms and sounds from Ecuador, Colombia and Peru and enrich them with synths and electric guitar. This is how they have developed their very own sound, which can be described as trippy cumbia, psychedelic chicha or African fuzz. A must for lovers of bands like the Meridian Brothers and for anyone curious to discover the new Tropsychedelica sound of Colombia.

Benin International Musical

The Benin International Musical combines traditional rhythms and songs from the voodoo culture with electronic melodies, trip-hop grooves, hip-hop and rock from Benin&#x27;s trendy club scene. With their project, the collective aims to revive the diverse musical heritage of their ancestors and make it accessible to a wide audience. The traditional voodoo culture, which was spread in the wake of slavery, may be unknown to many, but it laid the foundations for musical movements such as jazz, blues, salsa and hip-hop. A groovy homage to a rich cultural history!

Jasmine Myra

Jasmine Myra is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader from Leeds and is part of the city&#x27;s vibrant, creative and cross-genre music scene, which is bursting with young talent. Her euphoric and uplifting sound draws influences from Bonobo, Ólafur Arnalds and Kenny Wheeler, artists whose music shares an emotive quality that you can also hear in Myra’s own compositions.

Andrea Bignasca

Album Release «Stranger»

Andrea Bignasca, a musician from the south of Switzerland with a warm and welcoming voice, has been playing his way into the hearts of an ever-growing audience over the past few years. Since the release of his debut album &quot;Gone&quot; in 2015, Andrea Bignasca has given over 200 concerts in Switzerland, performed at major Swiss festivals and supported artists such as Everlast, Morcheeba and Gregory Porter. The songwriter&#x27;s fourth album &quot;Stranger&quot; will be released in October 2024. It tells stories of creating and writing songs, of creating life, of fatherhood and love; and of the fears, doubts and joys that all these things bring.

DakhaBrakha

Clear the stage for the musical fireworks known as DakhaBrakha! The Ukrainian sound rebels tear down traditional boundaries and create a storm of sound that pulsates between folklore and avant-garde. A wild fusion of ethno chaos and experimental passion. From hypnotic rhythms to powerful vocals. There are no taboos. DakhaBrakha make the stage shake and take the audience into a collective trance that questions everything.

Anna Frey – Albumtaufe «Wenig»

The band Anna &amp; Stoffner with Membrez and Mantel captivates with a highly energetic interplay of virtuoso musicians and urgent, unsparing lyrics. The album «Wenig», which will be released this evening, further defines their style as a fusion of rap, pop, punk, jazz and improvisation and is radical in its idiosyncrasy. Rapper Anna Frey and guitarist Flo Stoffner, with Vincent Membrez on synthesizers and Lukas Mantel on drums, develop an intensity that is hard to resist. «Less than little is nothing, but little is more than nothing, little makes a difference.» This band is not afraid of the void and does not cover it up, but faces it, follows it and thus develops its own language, with driving grooves, poppy melodies, free improvisation, idiosyncratic guitars and dark, engaging basses. Rapper Anna Frey moves over this musical diversity with her poetic lyrics. Sometimes in singsong, sometimes in harsh phrasing. Always in search of the immediate expression.

An overview of all events since 1992? Oh yes there is. And that is in our archive.
