Aino Salto (CH - Bern)

The fact that musicians sometimes process what they have experienced is not a unique. But Aino Salto has the vehemence, the acumen and the ability to confront even the most unpleasant things with (black) humour like hardly anyone else. Born in France, raised in Leipzig and now living in Bern, the musician Sonia Loenne had the feeling for years that she ‘had to vomit something musical’, as she describes it in her own words. ‘Something had to come out. But it wasn't clear what that was. Until I wailed the music for my first album into the piano in autumn 2023’.
