Info zu N O W What?

Valentin Liechti accompanied by Australian bassist Rodrigo Aravena and french trumpeter Shems Bendali, Valentin Liechti present his power trio. He explores the frontier between acoustic and electric sounds, creating at once deep grooves as well as space for introspection. The music offers melodic tracks leading the listener into a surreal melancholia tinged with mystery, leaving room for intense experimentation.

The new album n o w what?, recorded in February 2025 at La Frette Studio in Paris, carries the trio's artistic vision further by delving deeper into improvised dialogue and shaping a sonic world in constant transformation. It unfolds as a journey that experiments with the human voice and pauses to reflect on the state of the world and on the artist’s place within today’s shifting society. Along the way, the album is enriched by the presence of Alexis Anerilles (Tony Allen, Sophie Hunger, Étienne Daho…), the poet Rafi Nispel, and M.A.M, a defining figure of Geneva’s rap scene, whose contributions bring new colors and textures to the band's evolving landscape.
