Fcma- Fondation Chanson Et Musiques Actuelles

Fondée en 1997, la Fondation est née de la volonté d’apporter une aide aux artistes qui s’expriment au sein du large paysage divers et varié des “musiques actuelles”. Auteur-e-s, interprètes, qu’ils et elles s’expriment en solo ou en groupe via un album, des concerts, une tournée: très vite, les artistes se dévoilent au public et se battent “avec les moyens du bord”. Mais nombre d’entre elles-eux rêvent d’aller plus loin, de mieux s’organiser, d’avoir un jour les moyens de toucher un public plus large, de traverser les frontières. La Fondation CMA s’engage au quotidien pour leur en donner les moyens. Tous les cantons romands ainsi que de plus en plus de villes/communes, des fondations et quelques sponsors privés soutiennent nos projets et services, nous les remercions de croire en ces énergies, ces émotions et en ces parcours.

Coaching For Musicians

One day I had a dream, that musicians will live a happier life because they will receive support and encouragement on their journey. In 2017 I founded Coaching for Musicians, which was born out of the combination of two areas of expertise: as professional flutist and as Certified Creativity Coach. As a Performance, Career and Life Coach for musicians, I take care of the wellbeing of musicians, supporting them in reaching their full potential in performance and career, and finding more joy and fulfillment in their lives.

Creaked

The label Creaked started in 2004. After building its foundation over the years, it has become something different in Switzerland and elsewhere. Tunes have always bounced around in our heads, long before this simple Swiss label came onto the scene-tunes that are not just Techno, Experimental, Pop, Folk, Electronica or Rock, but are all beyond these niches. Oriented towards the widest variety of offerings including an international roster renowned artists and newcomers, Creaked will bravely cross any border to bring the best to your ears. As well as supporting new projects with established artists, a lot of work and effort goes into an artist's career development. The labels sound, if there is such a thing, is impossible to pigeonhole. Joy and creativity shouldn't be squeezed into a genre-bound compartment. In releases, Creaked pays special attention to bringing the listener the original emotion of the work, and also delights the eye by working with local and international graphic artists on cover design.
