JODOQ: After completing his film music and composition studies at the ZHdK, Cédric Joël Ziegler (1995) revives his past in pop songwriting. Modern pop production, as known from artists such as Billie Eilish or Bon Iver, merge with soundscapes of neo-classical music and film music, reminiscent of Olafur Arnalds or Sigur Ros. His creative approach to writing and composing also impressed at the m4music Demotape Clinic 2021: "You take me on a journey and plant images in my head," said jury member and curator of Radio Couleur 3 Francois Küffer about Hunch when the song was named Pop Demo of the Year. JODOQ was able to record another milestone in the still young career of the Zurich-based pop musician when he presented his second single Euphoria, which will see the light of day in the streaming world in January 2022, live with the Basel Symphony Orchestra at the packed Stadtcasino Basel.
