Commissioned to accompany Sound Journeys: Switzerland, our compilation of Swiss experimental music, A Shattered Mountain is a beautiful short film by Yannick Mossiman – an exploration of the Swiss wilderness and music scene, featuring excerpts of the music from the release.
Sound Journeys: Switzerland focuses on artists engaged in the Swiss experimental music scene. It has been compiled by producer, broadcaster and Nonclassical A&R Nick Luscombe following a visit to the country and research into the current activities of Swiss academic music.
Nick Luscombe says: “The aim of this compilation is to highlight the depth of creative approaches by experimental music artists and communities across Switzerland – from solo percussion and vocal based pieces, to ensemble compositions and electronics, ambient metal and data driven work. This is just the tip of a very substantial iceberg of incredible and innovative music being made throughout Switzerland today.”
