Swiss Alchemist of Music
since 1988
Balduin is a Swiss multi-instrumentalist and composer born in Bern (1978) who has released a diverse body of music since 2001. Playing all instruments himself, his style spans dreamy electronica, lo-fi experimental pop, neo-psychedelia, and harpsichord recitals. He has also created film music, game soundtracks, and jingles since 2002.
