After the acclaim of her solo piano album Transparence, Kruttli’s Vif EP dives headfirst into experimental waters, merging jazz-infused dream pop with cutting-edge electronic textures. The Swiss-born pianist, producer, and songwriter navigates love, life, nature, and time—crafting a soundscape that’s as vivid as it is emotionally charged.

The title Vif—French for "vivid," but also meaning alert or agile—perfectly captures the dynamic, visceral energy of Kruttli’s work. Recorded in her Berlin home studio, Vif showcases Kruttli’s versatility and bold artistry. With contributions from Swedish jazz maestro Petter Eldh on bass and Fabian Rösch, her partner in the electronic duo Dragon Life, on drums, the EP pulses with distorted, spaced-out textures that evoke both introspection and intensity. Kruttli’s synthesizers lead the charge, creating a world that mirrors her own passionate temperament.

A powerful introduction to Kruttli’s ever-evolving sound, each track is a portal into her world, blending jazz, electronic, and experimental dream pop that’s as intricate as it is personal. As she pushes herself musically, putting her personal spin on her favorite genres, Vif continues to make a worldwide impact.
