«For their album Grand Tour, Fitzgerald & Rimini visited Babylonian capitals and forlorn backwaters, metropolises basking in their after after party glow and seaside resorts out of season; they collected sounds and words, in order to generate from it the acoustic memory of a European home that goes beyond all borders.»
Lyrics by Ariane von Graffenried, music by Robert Aeberhard, videoclip Bermondsey by Jan Mühlethaler. Published 2015 by «Der gesunde Menschenversand».
«This fascinating album defies all categorisation (…) Irresistible!» NZZ am Sonntag, Manfred Papst
«Puzzling miniature art pieces have come to life, refined into fantastic poetry, located somewhere between spoken word, radio play and song. A genre of its own in word and sound, evoking lovingly dark mental images without even remotely bordering upon kitsch.» Berner Zeitung
«Spoken Word poet Ariane von Graffenried and musician Robert Aeberhard are unique in their mixture of literature, music and performance.» Radio SRF1
«I can hear by which sound a place is defined» – Robert Aeberhard on Fitzgerald & Rimini’s new album Grand Tour. Der Bund
