Les grandes vacances (summer holidays) - short interview with Binary Sunset
The summer holidays have arrived for Reverb Dream and to mark the occasion, I interviewed Felix, the bassist and singer of the band, Binary Sunset.
The band released their first album, les grandes vacances, in May and celebrating its release on 14th September at Konzerthaus Schüür in their hometown of Lucerne.
This album, along with their previous EPs, brings an uplifting summer mood every time.
Interview with Radiana Basso
At this year’s Kombinat Festival, I discovered Radiana Basso’s project, Dizzy Davis. A couple of months later, I had found out that she had directed music videos for some of my favourite Swiss bands and was part of the association, Spazio L’ove.
During our conversation, we talked about many subjects and themes. This interview focuses mainly the difficult beginnings to her music career, how the Dizzy Davis project took off, her involvement in the creative scene in Lugano, and, what she has planned for the future with her latest project, Concetta Spaziale

Interview with Kalkas
Since discovering Kalkas a few months ago, I have been intrigued by their music and how they create the soundscapes within it. Their music is more of a soundtrack than simple verse-chorus-verse songs and brings the listener into their post-apocalyptic world.
I find out more how they compose their songs, what influences them and what they have planned next with the musical universe that they are building.
Live sessions
Live sessions are a great way of getting a band’s music out to the public and making them more accessible - a collection of songs which the band would like to showcase in a live environment with a high quality recording.
A collection of three to four live songs allow the potential listener to get a taster of the band before possibly digging deeper into the band’s catalogue.
