IRON MAYHEM in Concert

Support Act: Chiara Dubey 
+ Special Guests 

Doors: 19:00
Show: 20:00
Pace: Alte Kaserne, Zürich

Das erste abendfüllende Konzert von IRON MAYHEM aus Altstetten, mit zahlreichen Special Guests und einer atemberaubenden Light-Art Show, wird zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis für alle Sinne. Von Cinematic Electronica über Post Rock bis hin zu sphärisch tanzbaren Klängen, mit Cello, Violine, Drums, Synths und Gitarren, spielen Iron Mayhem in voller Formation, zu sechst, auf. Als Support freuen wir uns riesig auf die einzigartige CHIARA DUBEY, welche bereits einige Internationale Erfolge verbuchen konnte und eine engelsgleiche Stimme hat, die durch Mark und Bein geht.

IRON MAYHEM:
Manchmal braucht es nur einen einzigen Gedanken in Rotwein-geschwängerter Nacht und schon schlägt das Leben eine gänzlich neue Bahn ein. Ein solcher zuckte vor circa fünf Jahren durch Samy Jacksons Kopf, bekannt als 50% des international erfolgreichen DJ-Duos Animal Trainer. In dieser Nacht ist der Song «Shells» entstanden und der war ganz anders als alles Material, das er unter Animal Trainer geschaffen hat: Kein Song für die Tanzfläche, einer für Zuhause. Von da an wuchs Samys Wunsch mehr solche Musik zu produzieren, Musik die nicht darauf aus ist Menschen zum Zappeln zu bringen, melancholische Musik mit viel Raum zwischen den Klängen, sphärisch und einladend statt fordernd. https://linktr.ee/ironmayhem

CHIARA DUBEY:
Introspektiv, verträumt, teilweise surreal und doch so intim und menschlich, Chiaras Klangwelt besteht aus eleganten Texturen von Gedanken, einzigartigen Klangflächen und ihrer zarten Stimme. Chiara ist eine Sängerin, Komponistin, Geigerin und Produzentin, die Elemente aus Modern-Clasisscal und Electro/art-Pop kombiniert. www.chiaradubey.com

WE ARE AVA – Ocean

New publishing release

OCEAN – New single out now

Stream or download now the latest single by our publishing artists WE ARE AVA on all major streaming services and download portals via this link

After WE ARE AVA released their most streamed single Happy so far in May this year and achieved numerous airplays and playlist placements (Spotify NMF DE, CH, AT, Pop Brandneu, Fresh Finds GSA, Equal GSA, Apple New Music Daily, and many more), the pop trio from Eastern Switzerland now delivers a bittersweet, autumnal ballad called Ocean.

«So, every time that I need closure I know I need to find my way back to the sea.»
While the healing, perspective-creating effect of the sea and the closure with a relationship that has hit the wall are thematized, the band succeeds in a new access to an even warmer, comforting world. The approaches of an analog and organic sound, which were clear on Happy, were pursued further and singer Kim digs deeper and more honest into her emotions once again. «I don’t know myself in this cold and empty way. No one made me ever feel this numb.» Thus, she illustrates the pain of barely recognizing a previously loved one, but also the relief of returning to the sea to find peace with the heartbreaking situation. «The water is my therapy, my thoughts are like the tides at night, I let them come, I let them go.»

already feature on huge playlists such as NEW MUSIC FRIDAY GERMANY!

Iron Mayhem – Libertas (Music Video)

Iron Mayhem – Libertas (Music Video)

Filmed in Iran by Ava Irandoost

A must see, the new music video by Iron Mayhem which was filmed this year in Iran by film maker Ava Irandoost, award winning Director, Writer, Video Artist and DJ based in Berlin and L.A.

AVA explains:
“When Samy (Iron Mayhem) asked me to shoot a video for Iron Mayhem, I was in Iran and offered him to shoot some footage there. I have been always interested in Urban life and female characters and that’s what I recorded in Iran, before the protests have begun. When I was back in Berlin and started editing the video, the protests in Iran were just starting. I couldn’t believe the coincidence and how the images, the lyrics and even the name of the track fitted perfectly to the current events in Iran. Synchronicity!? While editing, I was rather an observer; the music and the images came together accompanied with my tears. The story that Iranian women are writing now can hardly be put into words. This video is dedicated to all those courageous women, who fight for freedom.”

Woman, Life, Freedom!

New Signing: TOMPAUL

TOMPAUL

now signed on LIVANA MUSIC

We’re super proud of our latest label & publishing signing – the Swiss Electro Pop group TOMPAUL. Various new singles and EP’s are going to be released from early spring 2023 on our LIVANA MUSIC imprint. Expect fantastic new material from the band, soon! We’re already more than excited!

About the group:

TOMPAUL is rightly considered as Swiss most promising act in electronic pop music and has earned that spot through excellent releases and moving, intense performances outside and within Swiss borders. TOMPAUL perfectly masters the art of ambiances: a specific euphoric melancholy sneaks through every productions. Accustomed to dancefloors but not obedient to their dogmas, the producer/musician three-piece based in Baden works on the soundtrack of those late hours of the night when euphoric peak gently drifts into languorous feelings; between a few crumbs of night and pieces of morning.

The musical imprint of TOMPAUL draws inspiration from these very specific dawn atmospheres. There are different musical qualities combined: soft but precise rhythms, powerful bass lines, experimental synthesizers and organic instruments including this trombone, smartly used, that brings musical depth, and the opulent, expressive voice of Tom Fischer; a fondness for hooks and infectious riffs permeates every song. Comparison with bands like Bob Moses, Moderat or Monolink is nothing of an overstatement here.

ACID CANYON: Co-publishing & distribution

New label ACID CANYON

distributed by LIVANA MUSIC

We at LIVANA MUSIC are thrilled to welcome the new label Acid Canyon, founded by Trees of Tampa (the new project by Swiss producer and composer Alex Price), to our family. LIVANA MUSIC will co-publish and distribute all upcoming releases and we’re super excited about the future growth of both companies. We continue to inspire and share the same commitment to expand the quality artist roster and catalogue.

ACID CANYON
Established in 2022, the „Acid Canyon“ is a haven for the open minded, free spirits and longers. Founded by „Trees Of Tampa“, it stands for its own genre Western Electronica, but most importantly musical freedom.

TREES OF TAMPA
Trees Of Tampa’s passion for music is deeply rooted. He’s influenced by 1960s orchestrations, dusty folk records and predominantly focusing on grooves which he describes as a expression of his spirit. „Trees Of Tampa“ calls his music genre Western Electronica, a unique combination of record sampling and live instrumentation layered by drum machines. It‘s propelled forward by distant psychedelic sounds and rippling basslines that induce trance like states. Alex, the master mind behinde Trees of Tampa is also the founding father of the Acid Canyon, an art loving community and record label, based in Zurich/ Switzerland.

FIRST RELEASE: GATHER AROUND
As one of the hottest summers in history comes to an end, „Trees Of Tampa“ reveals his very first original track on his own label Acid Canyon. Following his first two releases on Oliver Koletzkis „A Tribe Called Kotori“ and Hive Audios „Summer Slices“ compilation back in 2020, the artist is now ready to show his own musical story. The powerful first release is called „Gather Around“ and is almost like a post-pandemic anthem.

Iron Mayhem – Album & Single/Video

Iron Mayhem – Altstetten

Album with single & video “1979”

Sometimes all it takes is a single thought on a red wine-soaked night, for life to take a completely new course.
Five years ago, one of these thoughts came racing through the mind of Samy Jackson, known as one half of the internationally renowned DJ duo, Animal Trainer. That was the night the song “Shells” came to life, completely different to anything else he had created with Animal Trainer: Not a song for the dance floor, but one for home.
From that moment on, Samy felt a growing desire to produce more of this type of music. Music that is not out to make people fidget. Rather, melancholic music with lots of space between the sounds, spherical and inviting as opposed to demanding.
Then, about two years ago and following a difficult time in his life, Samy decided to give in to his now urgent desire and tackle his first album under the name Iron Mayhem. It was to have 8 songs and the title “Altstetten” had already been decided. Altstetten, not only because moving to this district marked the end of a dark period in his life, but also because Altstetten is where he found love. For him it is not just a place, but a state of mind.
And that is exactly how Altstetten by Iron Mayhem sounds. Presented by LIVANA MUSIC and brought to life with the support of well-known experts such as Tobi Gmür (Mother’s Pride) and DJ Dani Koenig, as well as Samy’s Iron Mayhem comrades-in-arms, Harry (vocals), Mana (violin), and Thomas (mixdown, studio recordings, sound design): Bitter and sweet, dark but with light on the horizon, wistful yet hopeful, expansive yet detailed.
Music for movie soundtracks, which is also a soundtrack to and for life. Samy: “I really like the term ‘Cinematic Electronica’, it sums up the sound of Iron Mayhem. And so far, everyone I know who has heard the album says it reminds them of a movie soundtrack.”

L’isola – Special event with Chiara Dubey

Live gig on Brissago

Special event with Chiara Dubey

Don’t miss this special event! Chiara Dubey live in concert with her big setup in Southern Switzerland, on the island of Brissago (Ticino), supported by the city of Ancona.

Here’s the press info (in Italian):

La Fondazione Pro Ronco, in collaborazione con la cantante e
compositrice ticinese Chiara Dubey, sono lieti di invitare il pubblico
ad una serata molto speciale, una celebrazione della fusione della
poetica di Chiara con la meraviglia estasiante del giardino botanico
delle isole di Brissago in veste notturna, piccolo gioiello del
territorio ticinese creato a fine ottocento dalla straordinaria
baronessa Antoniette Saint Legér e conosciuto in tutto il mondo per
la sua suggestiva bellezza. Con il primo buio, gli ospiti
navigheranno dal Debarcadero di Locarno fino a raggiungere le
Isole di Brissago su un battello privato; arrivati a destinazione,
saranno accompagnati attraverso il giardino illuminato fino al Parco
degli Eucalipti, dove li attenderà Chiara Dubey ed il suo ensemble.
Chiara Dubey presenterà Constellations, il suo progetto musicale
più recente, che sta però giungendo al termine; questa ne sarà
l’ultima rappresentazione dal vivo. La performance musicale, sarà
incorniciata dall’installazione luminosa del designer Simon
Husslein, “Chandelier”, appeso agli eucalipti proprio sotto al quali si
troveranno i musicisti e dall’ideazione di un “palco sostenibile”
ideato dal giovane architetto Stefan Liniger. La presenza della
performance sarà di minimo impatto ed in armonia con la natura del
parco. Durante il corso della serata ci sarà inoltre un’esclusiva
performance di Jess Gardolin, ballerina, acrobata e coreografa, al
momento parte della Compagnia Finzipasca. L’evento sarà aperto al
pubblico e sarà possibile acquistare biglietti per assistere al concerto.

Lazer Boomerang – New EP

Why Is Everyone So Angry While I Am So Quiet

New EP by LAZER BOOMERANG

 

“It is a weird time to be alive. Even weirder to become a father while fighting against your own inner demons that have accompanied you for years..” says Dominique, the artist, composer and producer behind the project “Lazer Boomerang“..

This EP is his darkest outing yet – but in the same way he battles his physiological and psychological demons, his songs are breathing a will to live, a will for happiness and a will to survive. In times like these, those aren’t the songs we deserve, but the songs we need.

LIVANA MUSIC is the proud global publisher of all recent works by Dominique Iten, including his latest EP “Why is everyone so angry while I am so quiet”, coming out on the first of July 2022 via muve recordings.
