Why music? Cause producing and performing music is as fun
as surfing, climbing and snowboarding with your mates.
It's the experiences with the people i met and lived with,
those blocs in the middle of stunning mountains and all
those coastlines and its perfect breaking waves that give
the caracter to the Al-Berto sound.
Here a bit of background how surfing, bouldering,
snowboarding, travelling, filming and music go hand in hand.
2009
The year of the concerts and the recording of
the 13 Track Album
2008
This year we finally produced the 4 Song EP
'Byron Bay' The song Dive made it to the swiss
national Radio drs3.ch, lucernes local 3fach.ch
wich is my favorite radio station and toxic.fm
In between surftrips we quick recorded the video
clip to the song at the boulder crag of engelberg.
This one is televised on swiss national TV once
a week on the video clip plattform 'roboclip'
2007
Like the year before, that year began with a surf
trip. This time 4 months Guatemala and El Salvador.
During that trip i produced a new bunch of songs
including 'Single for a week' and 'Just let go'
Back in Swizzy we had then 2 concerts and i had another
surftrip and some more deep water solo action, where i
recorded a couple of more songs together with
'Sweet Summertime'
Somewhen that year Lukas Speissegger told that it was
about time to produce some songs with him
2006
The year began with 6 months surfing on a trip back
to OZ and Guatemala/El Salvador. On that trip i also
bought a G4 PowerBook that became the best tool for
recording new ideas and editing video clips.
After that trip i was invited to open for Daniel
Lemma at the Schuer in Lucerne. Duela and Barmy
and i had 3 rehearsals and had a great concert
thanks to the super chilled audience
2005
After the intensive year of travelling i came back to
Engelberg and had to diggest a lot. During that time
i recorded a lot of songs in the basement, passed days
in a row working on a song until the tune felt right.
During that time i contacted Barmy and Dula to have
a listen and add some tunes to the recordings. The result
were 8 songs that were appreciated in the close circle of
friends.
2004
The year 2004 was the realisation of the dream i had when i
started climbing in 1989. I wanted to travel around the world
and and dive into the beauty of those fantastic sceneries
while doing what i most like: bouldering
On that journey i took my guitar with me and passed through
Guatemala where i had my first surfing experience. I went
on a year climbing trip to discover the beauty of surfing.
the name climb2surf.com was born.
That year was so full of experiences that are impossible to
diggest in the very moment
2002 - 2003
Winter 2002 was the first one where there was not enough
snow (in my terms of enough) so i started bouldering in
ticino what became an incredible passion, i felt like on
the first days of climbing again.
Lots of recording of ideas and heaps of bouldering happend
in those 2 years. During that time i developped the boulder
crag in engebelberg (-> boulderberg.com) That was as well
the beginning of this picture gallery that became
climb2surf.com
1991 - 2001
skunkoffdeal.com was the name of the band that was our
playground to experiment with music. In those 10 years
a lot of new genres of music evolved. So many bands
brought new sounds to the world we never had heard before
and influenced our music.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers showed us how to give it away,
Nirvana put us on a plane, Rage against the machine saw
the bullet in our head, Massive Attack brought us the
karma coma, Morcheeba showed us the way down by the sea.
The Beastie Boys, Radio Head, Pixies and Lenny Kravitz
have always been my constant companions since that time
until now.
When you have the luck to spend teenage in Engelberg, you
understand that it is the most natural thing to go
snowboarding and climbing all the time. It is just in front
of your nose. If you love those things as i do, you are
the luckiest person alive.
