If you want to bring it down to a common denominator it would be music. The diverse activities of Swiss sound artist Cyrill Lim range from installations in gallery spaces, art and music performances to compositions in the contemporary and experimental music scene, live recordings of classical music or studio pop productions and songwriting.
The latter – being more of a hobby – gained more center stage after the release of his first album "" (untitled, erdkugel recordings 2015), which is physically only available as vinyl. Since digital distribution systems do not allow an untitled work, the album was published digitally in form of two EPs (side A and side B of the vinyl) with the titles "☼" and "☃" .
New releases followed in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 including collaborations with Serbian singer and author Ana Avramov and a remix for the track Heimat (2022, October House Records), recorded by experimental music duo Hyper Duo.
His latest series of songs always consists of pairs. They have the same colour in their artwork and complement each other but are also connected to the last and next pair of songs.
The latest release, Arise (2023, CLS records), the second of the second pair of songs was just released on July 15th.
Cyrill's songs are best described as melancholic, soft and gentle sounds and melodies that tell of longing and the desire for solitude, usually garnished with a pinch of hope.
