Welcome to Wolkenpark!
Wolkenpark – this metaphore describes the sound of the Swiss quartet pretty accurate! Since 2018 the band performs its own compositions using an attractive blend of modern club styles, drum‘n‘bass, chillout, house, nujazz, ambient and electrofunk: «New Urban Deep Jazz». Coming all from a jazz background (two of the guys teach at Swiss jazz schools), they impress with nasty grooves, mixing synthesized sounds, live looping and effects with the acoustic sound of their instruments – trumpet (Kriz Flueler), rhodes (Julien Boss), electric bass (Jean-Pierre Schaller) and drums (Johan Wermeille).
As sidemen they performed hundreds of gigs and studio jobs for european pop and jazz productions, for theatres, movies and television series. With Wolkenpark they join their experience and love for the music playing their own sound without compromises.
Wolkenparks first single «Lazy Day/Standing Back» was released on May 10th 2022, followed by «Move on for Real» and «Wizard Wisdom» feat. Rootwords, while the full album «Wizard Wisdom» was released on 12. 12. 2022.
The second EP «Vagues» was released on 6./7. April 2024 (check gigs). The release of the full CD is planned for autumn 2024.
In 2017 Wolkenpark won the «Nightclub-City Original Song Contest» with «Frappantine», the Track «Cheerful Waiting Room» was elected for the Christie’s Lounge at the exhibition Art Basel in Miami and «Sparkling Water» got a 3rd price at «HOFA Production & Song Contest 2018».
