Sheldon Suter

Sheldon Suter is a Swiss drummer, improviser and visual artist based in Locarno. After beginning his musical activity in jazz, he increasingly turned towards open improvisation and a practice in which sound, image and collective performance can influence one another.

His projects range from spontaneous chamber encounters to collaborations with larger ensembles, and his recordings include Quince (CS495), issued by Creative Sources. His own Bandcamp describes an interest in bringing together musical traditions that may initially appear incompatible, using improvisation as a way to find new relationships between them.
