«BRAUN is the place in which to pursue our personal research. We both started playing around—with electronically sourced music, with the drums—at eleven. Later we both pursued studies in jazz music. Gradually the jazz idiom, considered solely as an aesthetic instead of as an approach, ceased to inspire us and it became necessary to rebuild the vocabulary of our musical speech. We look into current electronic music for inspiration. With BRAUN we explore the connection of environment and performance.»

Had the layered rhythms of today's electronic music already been known to Pink Floyd, if the DJs of the day dared venture into total improvisation as in the times of deepest psychedelia, then BLUE 2147 would already have existed 40 years ago...
BLUE 2147 is a variable collective of musicians gravitating around Gabriele Pezzoli and Brian Quinn.

Founded 2013, TreMeandy was voted best diploma project of the year at Haute Ecole de Musique Lausanne. There followed the participoation in the Swiss national DKSJ (Direktoren-Konferenz Schweizerischer Jazzschulen) project, and the awarding of a grant by the Friedl-Wald Foundation. In 2016 the trio publishes a first album titled «Just Like Mary Did Before You» for the Berlin label QFTF. No doubt the most promising young jazz project “made in Ticino”.

Roberto Pianca compiles a combo of diverse cultural identities that integrates jazz of the most spontaneous sort, contemporary classical music and rock.
«Much has already been written about Roberto Pianca's style somewhere between grungy Hendrix distortion and delicate Jim Hall; it does provide exciting contrasts between the pale pastels and the darker moods.»
Estonia-Ticino
An exchange project showcasing current music
from Southern Switzerland and Estonia
is the fourth edition of the musical exchange project between Ticino and Estonia, developed by the two collectives Q3 ↗ (Lugano) and Avarus ↗ (Tallinn), creating an international showcase for music professionals of Southern Switzerland and Estonia.
The project is evidence of collaboration, mutual esteem and friendship between musicians from Ticino and Estonia which have begun in 2007 and developed over the past decade.
Annually since 2014, a festival of Estonian music is held every even year in Southern Switzerland, while every odd year, artists from Ticino perform in Estonia. Performances are introduced by artists of the hosting Country and joint bands are featured.
