Reintroducing Soar - the alias of Christian Aebi serial DIY taper and one-man orchestra from Langenthal a fog-shrouded town in the Swiss provinces. Krautophobia ambient lo-fi agriculture analogue soul balm and slowspeed psych gelati-blitz cardboard pop only gesture towards the sound world he coaxed from his broken Tascam four-track recorder in attics churches junkyards and at the kitchen table. The spark for Soar was likely time and space somewhere in the autumn of 1994. Armed with a cable salad of Sixties guitar/bass fairground drums mould-speckled organs and toy instruments Aebi coaxed five albums an unverified run of 25 cassettes and a handful of gigs. Mostly issued through Zurich label Corazoo the records arrived in hand-pasted sleeves rough-cut reproductions of his teddy bear-fixated artwork that carried the same imperfect immediacy as the music. With Rudi Steiner performances in galleries clubs and halls bent into live sound-image happenings - part installation part film part flea-market-instrument theatre - invariably leaving the house engineers bewildered. At the time of his untimely death in 2021 Aebi remained a village secret his music passed quietly between friends and local ears. Now Swiss graphic designer and Ghost Riders compiler Ivan Liechti has pieced together a portrait from the afterglow gathering tangled audio formats paintings illustrations photographs and notebooks with his family former label and peers. What emerges is a first glimpse of Soar's intimate cosmos - brushing against Füxa Spectrum Dump Stereolab and King Crimson but orbiting a dimension entirely his own.
