Wolkenpark
Wolkenpark – this metaphore describes the sound of the quartet of Swiss musicians pretty accurate!
Since 2018 the band performs its own compositions using an attractive blend of modern club styles, drum‘n‘bass, chillout, house, nujazz, ambient and electrofunk. All that becomes its jazzy original brand, called «Urban Hybrid Sounds».
Coming all from a jazz background (two of the guys teach at Swiss jazz schools), they impress with nasty grooves mixing synthesized sounds, live looping and heavy effects with the acoustic sound of their instruments – trumpet (Kriz Flueler), rhodes/synth (Julien Boss), electric bass (Jean-Pierre Schaller) and drums/pads (Johan Wermeille). With Wolkenpark they join their experience of playing together hundreds of gigs in various combinations since the early eighties, dozens of studio jobs for european pop and jazz productions, for movie and television series.
For their latest release «Wizard Wisdom» (2022), they teamed up with rapper Rootwords, who also joins them on tour - a badass addition that benefits both sides tremendously.Website
