POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

My new album «Southern Return» is out now! 🎈🌞🪁🪐
Over the past three years I have been writing, recording and producing this solo album and I am very excited to finally release it today on XJAZZ! Music.

The love goes out to all the people, creatures and planets who were involved in this process! 💛

I would be delighted if you purchase it today on Bandcamp, since all of today’s purchases are going directly to the artists. It is available on Vinyl, Cassette Tape and in digital form.

I hope this music will bring some peace into this world and I hope you enjoy listening to the new songs! ☮️
 Thank you so much for listening and supporting!

Much love ❤️

31. Oktober, 20.30 Uhr, GARAGE Egelsee
DIMITRI HOWALD & AMNIS STRINGS
---
Konzert
Am Egelsee spielt Dimitri Howald exklusiv mit den Strings seiner Amnis Band Extended.
---
Gitarrist Dimitri Howald fasziniert mit erfrischender neuer Fusion vom ersten Ton an: Brasilianische Tropicalismo-Einflüsse fliessen sanft in leichte und filigrane Jazzgitarren-Figuren über, Harmonien, die diese intensive Wehmut ausstrahlen, legen sich wie ein Stimmungsteppich darüber und die Wave-Drum-Machine sorgt dafür, dass das Publikum nicht ganz abhebt. Howald tüftelt, singt, wärmt – und bricht die Idylle schliesslich mit analogen Synth-Sounds. Seine Musik ist ein Schwebezustand, der zart an unerwartete und unerreichbare Orte hinführt.

Practising a new technique using harmonics. 💦🫧🪭 the singing shouldn’t be taken too seriously; it’s just there to hold the song together.. :)

Schöner hätten wir uns die erste Rio Aare Session mit @dimitrihowald und @toni.schiavano nicht vorstellen können. Merci, dass ihr alle da wart! 🫶🏼

Am frühen Abend füllte sich die Wiese im Lorrainebad mit Freund*innen und Familien mit Kindern, Musikfans und Aareschwimmer*innen lauschten gemeinsam der Musik - und sogar eine neugierige Ente gesellte sich zum Auftakt unserer Sommerkonzertreihe an der Aare dazu. 🦆

Fotograf und Inhaber des Online-Shops für analoge FotografieNicola Schmid @fotostrobo / fotostrobo_blog hat die Stimmungen am 20. August mit seiner Kamera eingefangen. Grazie mille!
