    Juan Mauricio Schmid Bello's debut record Ø from 2018 available as a 2LP full gatefold vinyl edition with insert poster.

    Ø (alt. names are ‚Conjunto vacío‘, ,Leere Menge‘ or ‚Empty set‘) is J. M. Schmid Bello's first full length release as a solo artist.

    This record took 3 years to finish and all tracks were composed, written, played and recorded (mostly) by Schmid Bello in Zürich and Winterthur from 2015 to 2018.

    „Polyrhythmic alternative rock grooves and jazzy dreamy guitars float all over the sonic landscape of Ø. Schmid Bello‘s soft voice in three different languages evoque a feeling of a Radiohead-esque texture with the nostalgic feeling of Boards of Canada. If you are into difficult time signatures and unfamiliar harmonies, this might be for you.“

    Genres: alternative rock, math rock

    Includes unlimited streaming of Ø via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

High Clown 05:33
Taste the ground Taste the ground Scream your purest sound Until you will be found Cut your flowers now Will ever come the day? How to find the way? It is useless to pretend When we will be down today They will wake you up And bring you down You have become a thing Another soulless human being Paradise means death Blood runs down my neck Blood runs down my neck Trust is far away When blood runs down my neck It is all full of clowns It is the colour of my own Days are long enough Living life In this hot cold sun From the greatest sky The greatest height It has been the worse night My last fight They never landed on The door is closed Why shall I kill this man? They all should die When did my time run out? If I could only leave this hate For once

Vacío 05:54
En excesos me encontré Y quisiera no haber visto Quiero un cuerpo nuevo Repetir todo otra vez Un último momento Por él no me atreví Dar un paso eterno Para siempre ser feliz Perdí lo que tenía Yo sé que te perdí Mentira de esta vida Ojalá ya acabe aquí

Desperté Estoy encerrado en este tren Nadie está Se ahogan en sus camas al llover Por tener he olvidado que solía querer Y el invierno Manifiesta esos fantasmas de volver Otra vez Un vicio abre el recuerdo de mi sed Por el miedo El mundo retrocede desde ayer Movimiento Me encuentro suspendido en una red Isabelle aparece sumergida sin saber

Ø 07:13
Life stays in its transfer Impossible to overwhelm In the middle there are places What should all really be? You sleep within values Keep feeding the wolves If this system never changes Their cards will fall over the floor We are all trapped in mirrors Repeating history To keep our lifetimes Full of thousand dreams

Valium 03:39
I have seen it I will not be down again Life has lost its pain As always I am thinking late at night And everything you said now wakes me up There it is The past outside my mind Suddenly I fixed myself For once For once Later in the daylight I feel I am the sun Now I am optimistic But I know it will not last enough To forget time Time There is always this stair going down Down on me The lights are off And all these changes are my will To avoid myself And it is clear To kill time Time Killing time

Niza Sur 05:04
Ya no tengo más que decir Y está más cerca ese día sin dormir Y no quiero saber qué es la soledad Y confrontarme cuando ya no estés aquí Todo es niebla en el olvido Tan sólo recuerdos de cartón Tan liviano busco aquel bello atardecer Y en la oscuridad el miedo vuelve otra vez Pero el sol volverá a salir Y ahora que todo fue yo puedo reir Ya no sé qué es irse sin saber Siempre un recuerdo será el hilo de una fe Irónica ilusión El lugar vacío que vivío en mi sensación Nunca más vendrá Nostalgia y la memoria son productos de saber Que nada es inmortal Una falsa idea de que algo va a quedar Yo no te quiero tan triste Ya no te quiero ver llorar Semillas que dan vida Fantasmas que se van Y el tiempo que se mueve en espiral

Ein Stern ist vom Himmel grad gefallen Dem Gleis, entlang laufen bereits Milliarden Menschen auf dem Heimweg wie verschwommen Wenn ich sie doch nur kennenlernen könnte Bald steigt sich der Lift gleich in die Höhe Guten Tag! Wie war ihr Wochenende?

Resina 06:25
Viernes por la noche Inmunda soledad Te busco en mi vacío Igual no volverás No hay tiempo que retorne Engaño y vanidad Vivir es un delirio Y nada va a cambiar Miro para atrás Y me ahogo en el olvido Infierno ruin niebla y sal Olvidé lo que he querido Espero que te asomes Despídete de mí Cierta angustia en espiral No quiero estar aquí Nube de amor Ya se acabó Tu bello rostro se quemó Cuánto tiempo estuve aquí esperándote Viniste sólo por mi amor para desaparecer Nube de amor Hoy se acabó En odio y rencor viví tu traición Sube al cielo el ángel rey Mi carne pierde todo ser Fui iluso al creer que algo iba a pasar Que alguien me iba a amar Que algo iba a quedar Pero no
