He uses everything, any objects that can help him in the process of creating new sounds, beyond their original purpose and convention.
\n\nTwo great lines guide his musical path, discovering other cultures and the exploration of different ways to approach music; a passion of sharing and for the transmission of knowledge.

\n\nRaphael teaches at the Geneva Music Conservatory as well as the Rothenburg Music School in Luzern.
\n\nDrummer, percusionnist, pedagogue and composer, Raphael started his musical journey when he was a child in the traditional institutions in the Luzern area. In 2011, he graduates from HES-SO in Master of Arts, Music Education (pedagogy), with jazz drums as the main discipline.
\n\nHis curiosity and love for other culture, for exploration, reasearch make him constantly grow and share and brought him to perform on european stages as well as south american and north african.
\n\nParticualrly inspired by the latin american rythms, Raphael collaborates with brazilian, cuban and colombian musiciens.
\n\nHe's a part of the “ Echange Culturel Suisse Colombie”project, which is a cultural exchange between Switzerland and Colombia. This project contains the various ingredients of his diverse interests.
\n\nFor numerous years he was very involved as the musical director of Nolosé, a Swiss Latin Jazz band that he helped bring to Havana where the “Que Cuenta la Habana” album won the Premio CunaDisco Prize in 2014.
\n\nThe pleasure to always explore new musical world led him to work with the acoustic metal rock band Grand Canard Blanc. This wacky band allows him to play with new sounds.
\n\nHe also features in other bands where he can feed his heteroclite appetit. Abtick's Highway (electro jazz), Ezerick ( modern jazz), The Amazing Kingu Orchestra (world), bb6 meetSIC (experimetal)...
\n\nRaphael also records percussions for movies soundtrack from the composer Nicola Vonritter.
