Three years ago, Philipp Furrer embarked on a new musical path. He tells stories that require no words, unfolding their deepest power within their very silence. Transatlantica is the result of this journey: instrumental music that creates space—atmospheric, profound, and multifaceted. Transatlantica weaves the warmth and expanse of the Weissenborn guitar—a lap-style acoustic slide guitar rarely heard in this part of the world—with the traditional sounds of the Schwyzerörgeli (Swiss accordion), violin, double bass, and percussion. This fusion creates unique new soundscapes and moods: a form of world music "made in Switzerland" that transcends generations and borders while awakening universal longings. Global sounds, rooted in Switzerland. “The Sea Is Calling” is the title track of the eponymous album. The song captures the profound feeling that washes over you while sitting by the surf. The waves, crashing against the shore and immediately receding, seem to call out, beckoning you toward a journey into the vast, undefined expanse—a journey that fills the heart with longing, a thirst for discovery, and the mystery of the unknown.
