BIO
Raphael Loher is a pianist and composer who works with a range of musical styles and interdisciplinary projects. Using preparations and extended techniques, he expands the sound of the piano and creates his personal and unique sound world. In 2022, he released his first solo album ‘Keemuun’ on three:four records. Across its four pieces, Loher reduced the piano to just ten notes spanning two octaves on the keyboard. This focus on a single idea and its countless variations has since become the core of Loher’s solo work. With Baumschule, a minimalist-long-form-improvisation trio featuring Manuel Troller and Julian Sartorius, he explores these ideas in a band setting.
With Post-genre Group KALI Trio he’s pushing the boundaries between minimal, ambient, jazz and electronic music. The award-winning trio has released their third album ‘The Playful Abstract‘ in early 2025, a movie by director Thomas Imbach has premiered the cinemas in 2021 and features an original soundtrack by KALI Trio.
Lucerne-based Loher has collaborated with a diverse array of artists such as: Gerry Hemingway, Julian Sartorius, Manuel Troller, Martina Lussi, Frantz Loriot, Linda
Vogel, Silke Strahl und Anna Pabst.
Raphael Loher has toured throughout Europe and played festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, Festival Variations, One Of A Million Festival, Willisau Jazz Festival, Suisse Diagonales, Jazzfestival Schaffhausen, Match & Fuse Festival, Unerhört Festival, Akut-Festival, Cully Jazz Festival, Micro Jazzfestival, and Festival Interstices (Plateforme 10) amongst others.
For the last 10 years he has organised concerts for experimental music with Kulturbrauerei and Mullbau in Lucerne.
