A solo project by Lia Neff featuring her bass, created during Sophie Hunger’s masterclass at the HSLU. She sings expressive lyrics about living, loving, and loving life. Reservations.

Using the loop station, Lia Neff has put together her own band. A newcomer to the Swiss music scene!

If there are musical genres to categorize her by, then Follia draws from the entire spectrum. With both feet firmly planted in classical music, sheconjures upwild arpeggios and melodic solos, while her arms delve intofolk/pop in search of groove and catchy harmonies. She blends it all together on her double bass and feeds it into the loop station.
Her classical training merges with pop songs in her double bass playing. The result is a highly unconventional sound, characterized by her ethereal voice, a colorful tapestry of sound from her versatile instrument, and its effects. Also known as: Kontra Pop.
Just as important as the musical elements are Follia’s powerful lyrics and her very distinctive—sometimes peculiar, sometimes direct—and vividly descriptive language.
After an exciting year in which she won the Zurich-based emerging artist competition “Band-it” and performed many concerts—including at the Winterthur Music Festival, at Moods, Theater Millers, and the Lauter Festival—she has now headed into the studio to recordher music and finally make it available to the public.
