Welcome to Wolkenpark!
Wolkenpark brings together musicians from both German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland, with Christoph «Kriz» Flueler (trumpet & effects), Julien Boss (Rhodes, synth & effects), Jean-Pierre Schaller (electric bass & effects), and Johan Wermeille (drums) merging generations and musical styles. Since 2018, the four musicians have been blending modern club styles, hip-hop, ambient, chillout, house, and drum’n’bass into their own compositions, creating a unique sound they call New Urban Deep Jazz. Using synthesizers, loopers, and effects, they generate an electronic hyperspace where their acoustic instruments expand into an orchestral dimension.
Each of the four members is an established figure as a studio musician, teacher and sideman. In Wolkenpark, they combine their shared experience from hundreds of gigs in diverse line-ups since the early 1980s, along with dozens of studio sessions for European jazz and pop productions, as well as film and TV series—now in their own band: Wolkenpark.
Wolkenparks first single «Lazy Day/Standing Back» was released on May 10th 2022, followed by «Move on for Real» and «Wizard Wisdom» feat. Rootwords, while the full album «Wizard Wisdom» was released on 12. 12. 2022.
The second EP «Vagues» was released on 6./7. April 2024 (check gigs). The first single release of the upcoming CD is on 18 November 2024 while the album will be released in spring 2025.
In 2017 Wolkenpark won the «Nightclub-City Original Song Contest» with «Frappantine», the Track «Cheerful Waiting Room» was elected for the Christie’s Lounge at the exhibition Art Basel in Miami and «Sparkling Water» got a 3rd price at «HOFA Production & Song Contest 2018».
