Jacques Demierre is a Swiss composer, improviser, pianist and installation artist who has written music for orchestra, soloists, choirs, balloons, dancers, chamber ensembles, museum installations and more. Blending Swiss traditions and sensibilities with avant-garde jazz, classical, improvised music and the American experimen- talist tradition, he has created a unique and striking sound world that challenges the idea of language itself. Sound poetry, Cagean piano sounds and ambient harmonics recalling Swiss Alp-horns from this Swiss music pioneer.
