Sara Oswald — Bivouac

Sara Oswald blends cello and voice into an intimate, mountain‑inflected sound world. The Vaud-born cellist presents selections from her 2022 solo album Bivouac, where bowed textures, plaintive melodies and sparse electronics conjure high-altitude atmospheres. Her work with Les Young Gods, Sophie Hunger and Pascal Oberson feeds an experimental yet lyrical approach. On stage she alternates fragile lyricism and raw resonance, shaping concentrated moments of reflection that linger in the listener’s memory.
