Sarah Buechi & Stefan Aeby Shadow Garden

Turning something complicated into something straight­forward. Loaded questions into shimmering and dancing images. Follow your heart. Find your way, keep on moving relentlessly. Together with Sarah Buechi in the Shadow Garden.

After "Flying Letters" and "Shadow Garden", Sarah Buechi is releasing her third album on Intakt Records, "Contradiction of Happiness". She has seized the opportunity to take her music in a new direction, and has augmented her superb quartet - with pianist Stefan Aeby, bassist André Pousaz and drummer Lionel Friedli - with the addition of three string players.

The addition of three string players to the latest compositions of Sarah Buechi proves that she definitely hasn't lost her love of adventure. Already her debut album 'THALi' (Unit Records, 2010) described as "somewhere else with Sarah Buechi" has been praised as not lacking in depth: the influences of Indian music (gathered in her 18 months sabbatical with R.A. Ramamani and T.A.S. Mani in India) were not superficial in nature but "the result of intensive studies".
