Swiss Music Export @ Linecheck Milano
Set in a perfect location to form a bridge between Central Europe and the Mediterranean, Linecheck Milano offers a unique opportunity to soak up new ideas and influences that – for reasons that will undoubtedly be a hot topic of discussion round the Linecheck-clock – don’t often travel North. It presents a super attractive programme of live music that ranges from the experimental chamber folk of Marta del Grandi to the outer reaches of futuristic electronica and includes several SME-supported Swiss acts, namely: Monte Mai, Milyma, Heith and Price.
Besides that, it also offers an intriguing series of panels and workshops that tackle subjects including international tax regulations, LGBTQ+ advocacy, sustainability and accessibility.
Having sampled the Linecheck atmosphere for the first time last year, SME is returning for more. Thus, we are once again presenting our Swiss Business Mixer, complete with our legendary raclette and plenty of Swiss wine. This event is co-sponsored by the Consulate General of Switzerland in Milano, FONDATION SUISA, Sonart, and SME.

SWISS PERFORMANCES AT LINECHECK MILANO:
HEITH + PRICE
WED 22 NOV | 17:00-17:40 | LA CAPSULA
Much-travelled artist and musician heith aka Daniele Guerrini has been a pioneering figure in the experimental electronica world for a decade. Interested as much in cosmic atmospherics as in variations in noise and explorations of the analogue/electronic interface, he has frequently been involved in visual arts projects and spent time studying Gamelan composition in Bandung, West Java.
Equally interested in electronic experiment and human voice, PRICE aka Matthias Ringgenberg, is a multidisciplinary artist working with performance, music, video and installation. His debut album “Sequences (True Sentiments)” (2021) plays around with notions of pop and abstraction, whilst “Actual Feelings”, released in November 2022, consists of seven ten-minute pieces of more or less modulated voices interpreting the phrase “actual feelings”.
MILYMA
THU 23 NOV | 17:30-17:50 | LA CAPSULA
Experimental R&B/Pop singer, pianist and producer MILYMA aka Milena Mayordomo, found her way to music composition through dance. Having played piano for half her life, she gradually started incorporating synthesizers, loopers and other electronic equipment. The result is a beautiful weave of organic sounds like her voice and piano juxtaposed with glitched out effects and synthesizers that range from warm textures to heavily distorted basslines.
MONTE MAI
THU 23 NOV | 23:00-23:30 | LA CAPSULA
Driven by electronic beats and textures as well as guitars, Monte Mai serve up a heady mixture of dreamy vocals, danceable beats and psychedelically coloured whooshes, bleeps and cosmic nebulae. Formed in 2020 by Grenadian singer and synth-player Anais Schmidt and the Swiss duo of Fabio Pinto (guitar, vocals) and Fabio Besomi (bass, electronics), they describe their style as “a unique encounter between Swiss precision and Caribbean freschezza”.
