about
Hi, I am COS.fm. I work and live in Bern, Switzerland.
I write and produce musical pieces, for myself and spoken word/rap artists to date.
COS.fm started around the turn of the millennium – after a musical odyssey. I learned to play violin as a kid, later classical and electric guitar, passing by jazz school, then gave it a try as an electro DJ, eventually ending up playing in a stoner metal band. This is when I got into sound engineering and I started to truly understand the beauty of the soundtracks by Portishead, Björk, International Observer, Tool, Russian Circles, Funkvater Frank and Sevdaliza – just to name the ones that likely influenced me the most.
After all, it took quite a few friends pushing me into stepping out of my studio and releasing some pieces. My music is raw like the brutalist concrete condos, where I grew up, and yet colourful as my latino origins. I look for the essence of things, both as a musician and daytime black collar lawyer. This is how I stay grounded. And yet, I guess I still prefer reading synth manuals over legal stuff – and I love my electronic knick knack.
