Yearly translinguistic exchange programme for sound artists in Switzerland since 2022

Zürich, 20-22th March 2026

For the fifth edition of RöstiBrücke, we invite you to a three-day symposium in Zürich featuring co-creations, performances, installations, round tables, seminars, workshops and a radio broadcast. This format, condensed over three days in a single location, is an attempt to further bridge distances by promoting and encouraging exchanges and connections.

This symposium is an opportunity to meet and share ideas, musically or verbally, on important themes related to creative music. The concerts are mainly artistic collaborations from different Swiss linguistic regions and address barriers that are still present between them through sound art. 

RöstiBrücke 2026 is an initiative by SZKMD production, with the support of FSRC/SRKS, Swiss Perform, Oertli Stiftung, Landis & Gyr Stiftung, Stadt Zürich, and the Republic and Canton of Geneva.

20-22.3 Radio Picnic
Continuous Discussion Series

Conscious of cellulose scarcity and in an attempt to render acoustics meaningful outside of our national programme, we would like to invite you to a launch of our new “Continuous Discussion Series” – a radio-broadcasted-work-in-progress series of open talks. We are actively seeking contributions from participants and friends on the following (and tangential) subjects.

Noise as a collective act (Friday 20-24)

When thinking about how experimental music is created nowadays, we are excited to learn about new practical and theoretical paradigms you have come accross, tested, performed and produced. From the physical phenomena of acoustics, to the collaborative production synergies, this topic looks into our evolving understandings of “noise”, “collective” and “act” as complex imaginative and creative entities. Other possible approaches: the zero noise conundrum; can we still call collect from jail?; noise as an event; “noise” or “nose”? – the bodies of noise; what does it mean to hear the world “collectively?

Music practice and parenting (Saturday 14-24)

When thinking about what it means to be thinking, breathing, feeling human beings inhabited by sonic landscapes, some of us realise that other entities also temporarily inhabit our bodies and our places of dwelling. In ontological terms, is creating humans fundamentally different from other works of art? How does experimental music contribute (or not) to our ontological shift to “parenthood”. Do we make “better” music when we become parents, and if so, what happens to the rest of us? Do sleeplessness and creativity generate black holes?

Sound arts and management in Switzerland (Saturday 14-24)

LoL… While we do have a tendency of forgetting how lucky we are to have access to funding, administrative help, professionalization courses throughout Switzerland, are the administrative measures currently in place sufficient for what is really needed, or are the managerial structures over-running the creative processes? What gets lost in middle-management? Does anything become diluted, enhanced, and how? Are we all good and have we finally leaned how to speak the same language? Should we?

Science is art (or the other way round…) (Sunday 14-20)

While humanities has learned to deal with art, hard and social sciences still have a tendency of looking at it as either “mimesis” or simply entertainment after a long day at “a real job”. While tackling this theme, we would be interested to address some of the epistemological issues related to the dichotomies of “art/science”, “fun/serious”, “subjective/objective” (and many many many others!). We would also like to hear your positions on why these binaries are still such problematic issues? If one can make up the world as one wants to, why is it still so difficult for us to grapple with transdisciplinarity in 2026?

These questions and others (we would be delighted to hear your suggestions for the future sessions of RB!) are offered up for open discussions during the 2026 RöstiBrücke. We are launching these series in an attempt to think critically about our practices and our being in the world as complex human beings with agency, ideas, imagination and dreams. We thank you in advance for your reception of this launch and we are looking forward to hearing your ideas.
