“Albedo” consists of DJ sets played by artists, visitors or other people associated with the festival, as well as externally invited people. The DJ sets can be attended in a cozy and intimate setting in the festival tent of the Jazz Festival Willisau. At the same time, they will be broadcast live by Bernese internet radio station Radio Bollwerk, Lucerne’s Radio 3FACH, Lausanne’s Radio-40 and Basel’s Radiopolis, with the former two co-curating individual slots.

Sony Moped
Martin Gössi is Sony Moped and thus a vinyl spinner with the original old 45s from back then, when pogo and punk were a new wave! Revolutionary until today! Rhythms from the underground back then, but still literally brand new today! Welcome to musical rebellion and your pogo therapy! Martin Gössi online

14:45 – 15:45
Laure Betris
Laure Betris draws music, not in the sense of wallpapering, but from the outside in. And from the inside out again. Breathe. Band projects and her own creations over the years, side by side like in a garden of varieties. The grown, the messed up absolutize discipline, another word is forgotten when sweating. Due diligence that is not ordered, a hundred times richer – or the most beautiful must in the world. Laure Betris online

16:00 – 17:00
KUMARI
KUMARI weaves threads from various genres together into a supporting net in which emotional complexity is caught: from euphoria to hope to hatefulness or feelings of irrelevance.
KUMARI aka your local brown babe aka Priya Kumar from Lucerne is a DJ and will take over the musical direction of Radio 3FACH from October 2024.

“Albedo” [the measure of the reflection of sunlight] aims to take an in-depth look at the personal perspectives of the music practiced and experienced. In addition to the music played on the various stages of the festival, a network of sounds will be created that will further enrich and open up the impressions and associations of the festival experience. And hopefully, with this musical interweaving, “Albedo” will also be a space of social connection, characterized by extensive, collective listening and shared presence.

Free radical cozyness.
