A Literary Performance by Michael Fehr and Manuel Troller at the Swiss Residence

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of welcoming renowned Swiss author Michael Fehr and guitarist Manuel Troller at the Residence of Swiss Consul General in New York, Ambassador André Schaller, and his wife, Brigitte Schaller-Schoepf, to celebrate the launch of literary magazine Trafika Europe’s exclusive Swiss edition, ‘Swiss Delights’.

From left to right: Swiss author Michael Fehr, director Trafika Europe, Andrew Singer, co-editor of Trafika Europe’s ‘Swiss Delights’ Tess Lewis, Ambassador André Schaller and guitarist Manuel Troller.

The evening included a discussion between author Michael Fehr, co-editor of Trafika Europe’s ‘Swiss Delights’ edition, Tess Lewis and director of Trafika Europe, Andrew Singer. Trafika Europe showcases some of the best new literature from the 47 countries of Council of Europe four times a year, usually focusing on authors from specific regions or language communities. ‘Swiss Delights’, however, is the first edition devoted entirely to one country. Switzerland, as co-editor Tess Lewis highlighted, exhibits an unconventional trend in literature, particularly in the area of biographies and in the case of Michael Fehr, thrillers. His thriller, ‘Simeliberg’, is a ‘Klangkunstwerk’, a sound artwork, relying on intonation and rhythm to tell a story.

Discussion between Andrew Singer, Tess Lewis and Michael Fehr.

To celebrate the launch of ‘Trafika Europe’, author Michael Fehr offered guests a literary performance together with guitarist and composer Manuel Troller to give a taste of his work, and to truly appreciate the extent of his ‘Klangkunstwerk’. As Michael Fehr commented, “a true poet is close to the sounds of the language.” Michael Fehr’s bluesy voice, Manuel Troller’s tranquil guitar and the performance overall, captivated the audience, highlighting Fehr’s incredible storytelling abilities. The songs, or rather stories, that Fehr told revolved around everyday objects: flies, whiskey, cotton fields.   

In between songs, Michael Fehr elaborated on his creative process, stressing that to him, “stories are always pictures.” To Michael Fehr, adding musicality to his texts is a permanent experience, making the storytelling process more fluid. The unique collaboration between the author and guitarist/composer Michael Troller, who works in several diverse musical genres, according to Michael Fehr, is possible because both of them think in narration. 

Michael Fehr studied at the Swiss Institute for Literature in Biel and the Institute of the Arts College in Berne. He is the author of Kurz vor der Erlösung (2013), Simeliberg (2014) and Glanz und Schatten (2017). In 2014, Michael Fehr’s Simeliberg received the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize (Kelag Prize). One year later, it was honored by the Literature Prize of the canton of Berne, the same prize Fehr had received in 2013 for Kurz vor der Erlösung. Michael Fehr is co-founder and curator of the Babelsprech, an international project for the promotion of young poetry. Since 2013, he has been a member of the jury of Treibhaus, a competitive platform for writers. In close collaboration with Manuel Troller, some of his texts have become original songs, with narrative solo performances and concerts internationally.

Manuel Troller, guitarist and composer, works in diverse musical genres. Since 2006, he has been playing and composing with the internationally active Band Schnellertollermeier. He has been pushing the boundaries of his instrument with preparations, extended techniques, sound manipulation and a fine sense for the moment, to become one of the most in-demand guitar players in Switzerland. Manuel Troller studied at the School of Music Lucerne, Switzerland and has collaborated with Sophie Hunger, Gerry Hemingway, Nik Bärtsch, Julian Sartorius, Stephan Eicher among others.
