Christian Zehnder + Andreas Schaerer

Description

In short: yodel meets beatbox – a summit meeting of Swiss vocal art. Two have come together! When Christian Zehnder and Andreas Schaerer meet, the voice becomes an adventure playground. One comes from the alpine tradition, from yodeling and overtone singing, the other from jazz and beatboxing. Two worlds that at first glance could hardly be more different – yet they meet at a crucial point: in anarchic joy of playing, a fondness for the quirky, archaic expressiveness, and the desire to flirt with madness. Together, the exceptional singers push the boundaries of what a voice can achieve. They explore soundscapes that oscillate between ancient tradition and radical present. Shouts and breathing sounds, whispers and bursting, sometimes poetically delicate, sometimes exuberant and wild – nothing here is predictable, and that is exactly the appeal. What arises between them is not just a mere coexistence of two virtuosos, but a real dialogue: they listen to each other, motivate each other, challenge each other, and repeatedly find a surprising unity in this game. We can expect a wonderfully earthy sound storm – an evening celebrating the human voice in all its facets: as an instrument, as a landscape, as a force of nature. Those who engage with it will experience two artists at the height of their creativity, performing with palpable joy in shared risk. A summit meeting in the best sense.
