St. Gallen warms up to Kaltehand
The St.Gallen Cultural Foundation is awarding the electropop duo "Kaltehand/Natasha Waters" (Davide Rizzitelli and Natasha Waters) a sponsorship prize worth 10,000 Swiss francs.
The duo has been "exploring the fibers of melancholy with impressive passion for eight years now", writes the canton. With each of its pieces, it weaves "atmospheric worlds of sound without constraint and without haste, in which Natasha's gently glowing voice combines with David's softly throbbing synthesizer to create moving stories".
The St.Gallen Cultural Foundation has awarded the prize in recognition of the duo's artistic work. It would like to contribute to "adding many more chapters to their sensual story".
The Wattwil arthouse cinema Passerelle is being supported by the Cultural Foundation with a recognition prize of 20,000 francs. A further sponsorship prize (7500 francs) goes to Madame Tricot from Wil for applied art.
