Searching for Starlight...

About Me

Phraseland is my synonym as the singer/songwriter Björn Schmelter currently based in the beautiful city of Winterthur/Switzerland. With my music and words I am on a journey to explore the depths of the human soul and the vastness of space that surrounds.
Phraseland is also a collective of musicians and songs - each piece taking up a small universe of their own. It's music that invites you to listen and reminisce. I am always working on songs - stay tuned for the second release 'Inside my Spacechamber' later this year.
There are more songs, pictures and other news on the official website (as of now still all in German)

www.phraseland.com .

The Phraseland live lineup is driven by the tonal possiblities of two guitars, bass and drums - combining funk and rock with the depth of a unique melodic complexity. Since as Phraseland I am a Singer/Songwriter performing smaller acoustic sessions is always possible and I will be playing some small shows to try out new material this summer.
...songs for clowns and space travellers...
