Julian Sartorius (*1981) lives and works in Berne, Switzerland. The drummer, percussionist and artist forms sounds into previously unseen shapes. His precise and multi-layered rhythmical patterns are keen excursions into the hidden tones of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the vocabulary of (experimental) electronic music. Being interested in fine-scaled variations, tension and release, mass and vibrancy, he creates projects like his last album «Hidden Tracks: Basel – Genève» (Everest Records, 2017), for which he hiked over 200 km with his drum sticks and recording equipment, playing and recording a multitude of sounds and textures on objects found on the journey. In recent years, Julian Sartorius has collaborated with numerous musicians including Sophie Hunger, Kate Tempest, Marc Ribot, Deerhoof, Jaki Liebezeit a.o. He performs live in intimate venues and on international festival stages.
