For its first edition, the festival opens to the public the beautiful private gardens of the Pays d’Enhaut : concerts in the green !
Even in case of rain, the festival will take place : the concerts will be held inside (but the weather will be nice !).
All concerts are « free admission », except the one of Stephan Eicher & Osomo (limited places for this concert !).
On the program !
Sunday, September 7 at 4 p.m. – STEPHAN EICHER & OSOMO (DUO DOLCE) at Château-d’Oex, Temple garden
It is with Osomo on the drums and his machines, electro beats and vintage synths that Stephan Eicher reinvents his debut in a minimal wave-punk way. Noise Boys, Toutes les filles du Limmatquai or Eisbär find a new life on the dance floor. The sound is raw, dancing, hypnotic. No frozen nostalgia here: Stephan Eicher & Osomo (Duo Dolce) is a retro-futuristic journey, between club and performance and where the past begins to vibrate to the rhythm of today.
Garden of the Temple I « In the evening, I arrived here, in the middle of the meadows of a bright green among which the houses are scattered between the firs and streams; the church is placed on a hill of green velvet; as far as the gaze carries, we still see large or small houses, rocks and, in a gorge, a little snow above the meadows; it is a most idyllic place… » Felix Mendelssohn about the Temple, 1831
Sunday, September 7 at 2 p.m. – ODD BEHOLDER (indie pop) at Château-d’Oex, Stanet garden – free admission
Electro wave and indie pop are his domains. A project that is both gracious and singular carried out by musician, artistic director and writer Daniela Weinmann, Odd Beholder questions the alienation of our societies and the ways available to us to escape them. From sensual melodies to chromatic landscapes, the Zurichoise builds moving worlds, always fascinating, from which we come out as if haunted.
Stanet garden I « The Stanet is an old chalet, facing a beautiful view of the ridges of the Gummfluh. The cottage is surrounded by a staged garden between stream and pastures, accessed by a footbridge. In a grass carpet punctuated by a few fruit trees, a hollow forms like an amphitheatre around a small scene, leaning against the curtain of trees that borders the stream… » Marie-Anne and Jérôme from Le Stanet
Saturday, September 6 at 4 p.m. – BUVETTE (electro-pop) in Rossinière, Combe garden – free admission
Buvette, also known as Cédric Streuli, presents himself as a constantly evolving artist, whose music captures the nuances of his eclectic career. Originally from Leysin, Buvette has traced his musical path through more than ten years of travel and four studio albums, exploring sound regions ranging from India to Mexico.
Combe garden I « The Combe garden, located on the heights of Rossinière, quietly lives its garden life. There are pretty shrubs, sea buckthorn, eldern, hazelnut and apple trees; many wild grasses, nettles and wild flowers; a little mint and, if all goes well, some zucchini… » Isabelle and Nicolas from La Combe
Saturday, September 6 at 2 p.m. – LUGRINOV in Rossinière at the Cure garden – free admission
Song in French, of various influences, Lugrinov sings stories of people who say nothing. On vocals and guitar, Jérôme Lugrin is accompanied by Joël Rey on bass and Alex Morpho on drums.
Cure garden I « Nestled in the heart of the Pays-d’Enhaut, the Cure of Rossinière has stood proudly since 1770, a silent witness to local history and architectural know-how. Around this house, a garden with an ancient soul unfolds its charms. It is home to fruit trees, medicinal plants and a vegetable garden. Even today, it retains this peaceful atmosphere and conducive to inspiration, where each season offers a symphony of colours and scents… » Viola and Alex from la Cure
