Schellmerÿ – sounds from ancient times
The word Schellmerÿ derives from the ancient Swiss German word "Schellmerei" which is a mischievous deed. We evoke new life into melodies, stories and dances of ancient times through our historical instruments and in their original language.
Most of the songs and dances are from Switzerland and the surrounding countries, dating from the dawn of the Middle Ages to the 18th century.
We usually play on medieval markets, in museums and schools, at marriages, on birthday parties, at festivals and open-airs. We also do medieval dances with the audience or accompany medieval dance groups with our music.
Jensyts – sinister tales from long forgotten days
As formation "Jensyts" we invite you to our medieval journey with our Swiss tales storyteller Andreas Sommer. Authentic music and heathen legends, newly brewed in a kettle full of magical wisdom, seasoned with mischief.
We present short sets of tales on medieval markets. With the two stage programs „Totentanz – Memento Mori“ and „Bannkreis – Fama Maleficarum“ we'll shake you to the core.
The driving force of the band devotes herself to lost languages, abstract rhythms and inovative song arrangements - former member of folkmetal band Eluveitie.
