(What) You Will Find (45:23) – Francesca Remigi & Fabian Mösch
We live in a time when the world is simultaneously crying out and falling silent. Voices are raised against injustice, against violence, against the logic of power concentrated in fewer and fewer hands: but they grow hoarse from shouting into a space that does not want to listen. What remains is a noise in which the essential threatens to disappear. This might be where music comes in, not as an escape, but as a necessity. It opens up space where language fails. It forms a whole out of fragments, a statement out of dissonance, an exclamation mark out of silence. Music reminds us that we can feel before we understand, and that feeling can be the first step towards action. Listening even becomes a political act when we remember that feeling is where collective change begins.

Hoarse by Francesca Remigi and Fabian Mösch aims to be such a piece: a sonic negotiation of what it means to exist in the present. Acoustic and electronic sounds, tape recordings and unconventional instruments merge with drums and clarinet to create a landscape that refuses to be neutral. The title Hoarse refers to the exhaustion of voices that rise up against injustice because those in power do not listen. The album’s only track (What) You Will Find reflects the musical openness of the piece: it invites repeated listening and may reveal new facets with each pass. Perhaps the piece is a mirror of our times: the power of the rich, the threat of authoritarian forces, but also the unbroken strength of movements that refuse to be silenced.

Recorded during a residency at Palazzo Trevisan degli Ullivi in Venice, the piece navigates between intimacy and rupture. Clarinet and drums don’t accompany each other, they provoke, interrupt, create space for each other to breathe or to shatter. Electronic sounds blur the edges, dissolving the distinction between acoustic source and processed resonance. The improvisation shifts between moments of intense dialogue and expansive soundscapes where voices merge into texture. It resists resolution; it builds tension, lets it hang, occasionally releases it into ambient drift only to gather force again. What emerges is a soundscape that refuses comfort, that stays restless. And the piece creates its own memory in real time. Tape recordings capture what has just been played and feed them back into the improvisation as echoes, as ghosts of the immediate past. What we remember shapes what we do next. The traditional Palestinian peace song ‘Yarabba Ssalami’ resounds alongside electronic textures as a living practice: solidarity turns into action.

The world is scary, but the movements are powerful and their voices are growing louder. Every tired voice that speaks out is a crack in the system.

About Francesca Remigi & Fabian Mösch

Improvisation and free forms of sonic exploration characterize the work of these two musicians. Their performance combine electronic and acoustic elements, creating a flexible and non-structured sound environment. The instrumentation includes clarinet, drums, various unconventional toys, tape recorders and electronic preparations. Together, these elements form the basis for a continuous process of experimentation and improvisation, where sound is explored without predefined constraints. After participating in the Pro Helvetia-sponsored “New Echo System” residency at Palazzo Trevisan in Venice, the band performs at Montreux Jazz Festival 2025 and releases its first album in March 2026.
