Adriano Koch is a Swiss pianist, composer, producer and multidisciplinary artist based in Basel, with past performances at Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Piano City Madrid (SP), Montreux Jazz Festival, Les Docks Lausanne, Le Romandie, Neubad Luzern and Usine à Gaz. His music has been featured by BBC Radio 6, France Inter, RTS and Radio X.
Composing and performing since childhood, Adriano began developing his musical language through improvisation and emotional expression. Between 10 and 15 in the middle of a difficult environment and struggles with mental health, music became a place of survival, safety and emotional transformation. A space where inner states could take form without needing to be explained.
His track Brief surpassed 700,000 streams on Spotify. His track I'll Keep You Waiting was included on a Laurent Garnier compilation released by Fabric Records in 2025. He is signed to Radicalis Music (Basel) and published by Wise Music Creative (Berlin), who also work with Ludovico Einaudi.
Today, Adriano is building a new live chapter, rooted in the same values that define his studio practice: raw performance, emotional honesty, and presence in the moment.
Formats
Piano, electronics, and the room itself.
On stage, Adriano performs solo piano, synthesizers and atmospheric electronics in a set shaped by the room, the audience and whatever is present that night. The music is created live, with no two performances unfolding in the same way.
This approach comes directly from his ongoing studio project, the RAW series: filmed compositional sessions where songs are created from scratch, often in one take, from an emotional state, without editing the imperfections out.
The result is a concert that feels cinematic and deeply focused — between piano, synthesizers, atmospheric electronics and silence used as an instrument. The kind of quiet that makes a room hold its breath.
1/ Solo piano performance
A focused solo performance for piano, electronics and atmosphere.
Ideal for: music venues, listening rooms, small theatres, cultural centres, intimate festival stages, concert series.
Duration: ~50 minutes
Setup: solo piano + electronics (For very small acoustic venues under ~50 people, a fully acoustic piano format (no PA) is possible)
2/ Participatory Edition (new format, launching 2026)
A large blank canvas is placed in the space. During or after the concert, the audience is free to draw on it. No instructions and total freedom. At the end of the evening, the collective drawing can become the artwork and visual testimony of a documented live release of the concert. Selected performances may be released as RAW (Live) episodes, combining live recording and the artwork created in the room by the audience.
Each participatory show produces a unique documented piece: the music of that moment, and the visual trace of the people who were there.
The participatory edition is currently being developed and will be piloted this summer. Adriano is now looking for selected partner venues to present the first editions from autumn/winter 2026 onwards.
Ideal for: art spaces, galleries, interdisciplinary and contemporary festivals, performance venues, cultural centres
Duration: ~50 minutes
Setup: solo piano + electronics (a fully acoustic set is possible by agreement)
What the venue gets:
-
A unique, documented one-night event
-
A collective artwork created on-site by its audience
-
Credit and presence in the released live recording and artwork
-
A story that extends well beyond the concert night itself
WHY BOOK THIS ?
The format is light in production, but strong in identity: solo piano, electronics, silence, presence, and the fragile tension of music being created in the room.
We live in a time of frictionless content: everything edited, polished, retouched. Adriano's project moves in the opposite direction.
RAW offers audiences an experience they cannot get from a record: the feeling of being in the room where emotions are being expressed, in real time, with no safety net.
Available from: Autumn 2026 and beyond
