about

"During 2011, I used to organise regular recording sessions at my place with different Swiss musicians I regularly work with. But except from the duo with Gaudenz Badrutt (Track 3), none of the duos was a steady project.

The aim of these six encounters was to work on what the occasion and the combination of the players could offer as sound material each time and to try to extract the essence of it, without falling in conceptual thinking, but letting the improvisation be the central point." Jonas Kocher

Jonas Kocher

Accordion player and composer born in 1977, Jonas Kocher studied with Teodoro Anzellotti, Pierre Sublet and Georges Aperghis. He collaborates regularly as an accordionist in improvised and conceptual contexts with musicians such as Michel Doneda, Christian Wolfarth, Olivier Toulemonde, Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Hans Koch, Duo Diatribes, Jacques Demierre, Christian Kesten, Gaudenz Badrutt, Chris Heenan and others.

Jonas Kocher's work explores the relationships between tone, noise and silence and the process of listening. As a composer he realises projects that are situated between composed theatre, installation and concert pieces. His compositions have been played at Biennale Bern 2010, Jardins Musicaux 2012, SMC Lausanne, Theater Basel, Zentrum Paul Klee, Festival Encuentros Buenos Aires, Umlaut Festival Berlin, Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel, Festival Concentus Moravie, Zagreb Biennale.
