Peter Conradin Zumthor

This is the first solo release by Swiss drummer Peter Conradin Zumthor. "Another good example of the consistently high-quality musical output and the vitality of the scene in the supposedly oldest city in Switzerland. On his solo debut, released on the label of the highly esteemed Swiss percussionist Christian Wolfarth, the self-taught drummer from Chur presents a refreshing musical potpourri of his sound repertoire, developed over the years, in the form of seven interwoven compositions. These prove to be extremely entertaining throughout and thus pleasantly counteract the sometimes not ultra-positive concept of drummer solo albums. In this respect, Grünschall fortunately does not act as a mere display of technical competence, but rather presents his narrative as a successfully subtle, dramaturgically coherent and stimulatingly balanced examination, possibly even latently autobiographical reflection of a talented percussionist with his own mode of expression. Exciting!
