Buvette

Electronic project from Switzerland.

Cedric Streuli has been making music as Buvette since 2008. Having recorded his first three albums in complete isolation at his home studio in the Swiss Alps, Streuli's fourth and most recent release - Elasticity - was recorded at Point Ephemere studios in Paris. Describing the environment as "messy but functional with lots of gear, empty cans and visitors" the open door, more collaborative scenario made a huge impact on the way he recorded this album.

Beginning his musical career drumming with The Mondrians and Koudlam, Streuli began his solo work during the lonely off-season months in his ski-resort town. Making use of a sampler and a small Casio keyboard, three tunes uploaded to MySpace quickly led to his first solo gig. Naming his project "buvette", after what a friend deemed 'the ugliest word in the French language,' Streuli - who has only ever played alone - started touing with a band for the first time in 2016 — Ben McConnell on drums (Beach House, Au Revoir Simone, Air), Clémence Lasme on bass (Moodoid) and Richard Fenet on guitar (Calypsodelia), who later that year was replaced with Nicolas Villebrun.
