INFLUUT
INFLUUT is a duo from Switzerland playing electroacoustic jazz. The essence of their music takes origin in two opposite yet complementary approaches meet to explore instrumental harmonies and algorithmic synthesis. INFLUUT’s approach to composition leaves room for improvisation and electronically randomized sound events for building up a musical narrative that follows organic flows with a technological component.
INFLUUT’s creative work is initiated by a perpetual questioning about the world that comes after. What happens after apocalypse, war, pandemic or mass extinction? Machine encounters Nature in a strong yet subtle entanglement, achieving the renewal of natural fauna with electric bugs and mechanical automatons. Best served with quadriphonic surround soundsystem, a voyage to be enjoyed by astral projection or on a flying carpet.

RöstiBrücke Electroacoustic Cabaret
Annual translinguistic exchange programme for sound artists in Switzerland since 2022. A
series of polymorphic performances that offer the opportunity to experiment with new sounds and new spaces. As in a cabaret, the audience attends a series of performances, blending genres and sensibilities, with sound poetry as the only common thread.
