Mini-Fest: Softness, edeF.

Endless Bazaar Mini-Fest

Endless Bazaar returns for a two-day gathering at Rote Haus. A red brick remnant of Luzern’s industrial past on the former ewl site. Across two nights of live sets and audiovisual performances, the program traces some of the stranger edges of contemporary sound.

Softness

Sophie Conus is a sculptor and musician. Under the alias Softness, she gives live concerts combining her own field recordings and textures with vocals and the traverse flute. These various sound textures are then processed and spatialized to create soundscapes that take listeners on a journey through different atmospheres that intensify over time. She draws inspiration from Ambient, Drone, and Trance. She recently composed the soundtrack for the documentary Les Chasseresses, selected in two film festivals.

edeF.

Milan-based producer and sound artist Federico Bianchi works under the moniker edeF., assembling his music from fragments of contemporary media, samples, digital debris and traces of underground culture. Drawing on the aesthetics of early-2000s electronica and his emo and indie roots, he reconstructs drifting sonic landscapes where raw, playful textures unfold with almost systematic precision. Built through extensive media research and a fascination with global subcultures, his work develops as layered, sample-based storytelling. A method captured in his debut album di muri bianchi.
