ELEMENTS OF FLOYD

“Think big” – for Elements of Floyd, this is more than just a motto. It is a commitment. For how else could one pay tribute to Pink Floyd’s monumental musical universe other than with grandeur, dedication and visionary power?

The eight-piece ensemble from the Basel region has, in a very short space of time, played its way into the top league of Swiss tribute bands. Driven by musical reverence and creative precision, their elaborate shows transport the senses to where the light is just breaking: The sonic journeys through sublime spheres, through rhythmic storms and fragile vocal passages deliver the perfect Floyd feeling – at times rocking and powerful, at times ethereal and playful, often magical, and always true to the original.

Faithful sound effects and synchronised video projections – including a circular screen in the style of the legendary ‘Pulse’ tour – create an audiovisual experience that oscillates between powerful rock energy and playful weightlessness.

The current programme is dedicated to the album *Wish You Were Here*, which was released exactly five decades ago – performed in full, including the rarely played parts of *Shine On You Crazy Diamond (6–9)*. Previous highlights have included the Pulse tour – a tribute to Pink Floyd’s legendary double concert in Basel in 1991 – as well as the iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon.

Gems from The Wall, Animals, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell also feature in the repertoire. Fans of the band’s early work will find plenty to enjoy.

Two sets of one hour each will be played, with a short interval in between.
