« The images that appear
behind my closed eyelids
must be looked at and colored in,
especially not destroyed by opening my eyes.
Behind my closed eyelids hide new horizons.»

Ficht Tanner’s New Album!
Dive into the sonic universe of Swiss artist
Ficht Tanner with this brand-new CD release, featuring 14 powerful and exclusive tracks.
From his psychedelic rock experiments of the 1980s to the explosive free folk and jazz sounds of the 1990s, and his most recent solo improvisations on double bass, this album traces the creative evolution of one of Switzerland’s most unique musical voices.
Includes several never-before-released live recordings, available to the public for the first time!
A collector’s gem and a must-have for fans of boundary-pushing, genre-defying music.
“An electrifying journey through four decades of sound exploration.”
