Tiramisadness is a Basel-based band that has been performing their unique synth-pop songs since 2020. The four musicians blend improvised musical elements with clear song structures influenced by imaginative landscapes, repetitive rhythms, and the sound bank of their old Casiotone keyboard.

The band members are Dshamilja Kalt (synthesizer, vocals), Jasmina Kalt (synthesizer, vocals), Christian Büttiker (bass, synthesizer), and Lucas Zibulski (drums).

The project began in 2018 when Dshamilja and Lucas played their first live concerts as a duo. They performed songs that Dshamilja had recorded on an old iPhone using GarageBand to capture the chords and melodies that would form the basis of their desired sound.

After playing together for a while, Jasmina and Christian joined the band in 2020, adding more vocals, synths, and possibilities to the group. Their songs are sometimes short, sometimes long, and often invite listeners to search for melodies and harmonic ideas that develop slowly or abruptly into new parts that complement the music rhythmically or lyrically.

Tiramisadness can be heard exclusively live for now, except for a few demos on their Soundcloud page. They are currently working on their first EP release and band recordings from 2023.
