Swiss accordionist Anatole Muster is re-defining what the instrument can do and bringing it to a wider audience. At his live shows, he plays not just the traditional button accordion, but also two signature instruments: a Laptop keyboard and MIDI-controlled “breathalyzer” synth. His global network of close collaborators includes LA heavyweights Kiefer and Louis Cole as well as leading jazz and fusion bassists Hadrien Feraud and Federico Heliodoro. His first two albums - “Wonderful Now” (2024), and ‘hopecore’ (2025) have widened his appeal: total streams across all platforms now approach ten million. Anatole Muster is optimistic by nature, makes light of complexity, and is completely driven to create music that is truly uplifting.

* "Every so often, an artist appears who rewires our sense of what pop can hold. Anatole Muster [...] bends air into melody, transforming the accordion into something weightless, contemporary, and full of quiet wonder." (Antonio Rodríguez Molina / Metal Magazine)
