Cedrik Fermont is much more than an experimental musician. The Berlin-based Belgian-Congolese composer, mastering engineer, author, radio host, concert organizer, and label founder (Syrphe) has been working for over three decades at the intersection of sound art, political engagement, and global research.

We live in times of war. Every day, people die – in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Sudan. Families are torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, living spaces wiped out. And we are constantly witnesses to this — through news, images, and social media.

With our concert series WE SEE YOU, we aim to provide direct support to the people of Gaza, who are particularly affected by ongoing conflicts and the humanitarian crisis.

At the heart of Lucerne’s independent music scene, Mullbau and Kulturbrauerei stand out as two essential institutions whose influence extends far beyond the region.

Double bassist · Catalyst for innovative music collectives · Initiator for community, experimentation, and solidarity
