“I feel comfortable in the undefined”
“Although the five [members] came together in the city of Bern, they are all from fairly rural areas. Via Fucina chose a countryside location surrounded by farm animals to finalize the sound of their first album, Heart-Shaped Confetti.
While their time on the farm and in the recording studio was fulfilling, the five always look forward to playing their music live. The whole album has several moments that can only really be recorded live. The variety of their instruments almost makes the five band members seem like an orchestra.”
