all my songs have sprung from
the rib of my soul.
I'VE FOUND THEM WHEN I WAS RUNNING
ALONG THE RIVER,
WHEN A HARD WIND HIT MY FACE
WHEN A BUTTERFLY LANDED BY MY FEET
CROSSING THE STREET
ON A HOT SUMMER DAY;
STARING IN THE BLUE SKY.
Summer 2003 my life changed completly. I lost my job, my love, the bands i've been playing with. I was badly destroied for a while, more or less until i've decided to record everything what was still in my mind. A year later, - i had been looking for a drummer -, i met DAVID and invited him in my rehearsal room. Although he had usually been playing hardcore drummings we got along very well. He liked my music and joined me to play and doing some life acts together.
Spring 2006 we were recording a couple of our songs in startrack studio Schaffhausen by great support of OLIFR GUZ MAURMANN. Our first album arose. On this side i introduce you some of its songs and the video i did with a friend winter 2004 about the titlesong "HILL". The following summer, - i was gathering flowers on midsummerday early evening along the maintraffic road through Zurich I live close -, i met NEVIL. We started to talk - a lady bug settled down on a blade of grass i was holding in my hand - and since then for the following months, his sounds had been adorning my songs.
Next change summer 2008 came. David left baboon because he moved out of Zurich. Nevil followed him some time later. In july shortly before the separation we've been again recording some of the actual material. During fall and winter i did some more songs assisted again by Olifr. And the new album with its title 5 KNOTS shall be ready to be published by the end of this year. I do solo performing now.
you could say that
when you get to a place
where every thought has come to an end,
when you’ve walked down every road,
upon your arrival,
you meet baboon
with her bittersweet, rebellious songs.
your last questions may be answered
through enciphered metaphors,
visible to the courageous ones
who listen closely
- and at other times with straightforward words.
with a thin shell
but wide open senses
i've been walking about the world,
perceived and experienced things
that maybe are kept concealed to others
and tried to find a musical counterpart for them.
there are political songs like angel or cursed ,
i sing for the oppressed and the redlined,
postmodern lays like sealsoulskin or if ,
self-portraits like mansized or hill
and untamed punk songs from
the streets of Zurich where i live like
monkey town or 2 stations.
LOVE BABOON hill
