Life

(openPR) Wildhaus / Berlin – Swiss music project CHILLIJIL® has teamed up with Berlin-based singer Fatih Alas to release their new single, “Friends.” The track is an emotional, contemporary pop-house production about connection, trust, and the people who remain when so much else fades away.

The connection between CHILLIJIL® and Fatih Alas originally began as a creative art and music project during the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as a digital collaboration gradually evolved into a genuine artistic partnership. For “Friends,” Fatih recorded his vocals live and directly via WhatsApp—raw, immediate, and authentic. It is precisely this unpolished intimacy that gives the song its distinctive character.

CHILLIJIL®, the music project of Jil Kommer and Lars Kommer, is known for contemporary electronic music, emotional melodies, and digital creativity emerging from Switzerland. Father and daughter combine house, pop, visual art, and AI-assisted production to create a unique sound that exists somewhere between the dance floor and deep emotion. With hundreds of released tracks, international radio support, and a steadily growing streaming audience, CHILLIJIL® continues to establish itself as an exciting independent project at the intersection of music, technology, and visual culture.

With Fatih Alas, the collaboration gains a warm and expressive voice that brings a distinctly human depth to “Friends.” His performance infuses the song with soul, vulnerability, and energy, while CHILLIJIL® provides the driving beats, modern production, and emotional atmosphere that carry the track forward.

“Friends” explores friendship not as a superficial word, but as a profound feeling. People come and go, yet some connections endure. Blending melancholic depth with uplifting momentum, the song is a soundtrack for late nights, cherished memories, and new beginnings.

“Friends” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

This press release was originally published via openPR.

The work of Fatih Alasalvaroglu exists at the intersection of reduction and emotional intensity. Emerging from a single, deliberately drawn line, his compositions seek not merely to depict the visible world, but to capture inner states, memories, and human emotion. Stripped of excess, his art focuses on what matters most: the direct encounter between the artwork and the viewer.

Artistically shaped in Berlin, Alasalvaroglu has developed a distinctive visual language whose power arises precisely from its restraint. His works are at once quiet and compelling, minimalist yet deeply charged with emotion.

It was from this artistic sensibility that the collaboration with CHILLIJIL emerged. The track The Art of Capturing Emotion is not a musical translation of individual artworks, but rather an independent sonic response to the emotional universe embodied in Alasalvaroglu’s work. Sound becomes an extension of the line; music expands the visual experience into a new dimension.

The project brings together animated artworks and an atmospheric electronic composition, creating a dialogue between two artistic forms. Image and sound interact, complement, and reinterpret one another, inviting the audience into a shared emotional landscape.

Art inspires music. Music gives art a pulse.

For nearly ten years, I carried this project within me: the idea of portraying an artistic life cycle - from birth and early works to the final piece. In stages, in variety, and across the full range of my creative and technical abilities. It was also a quiet response to voices that long claimed I could only work small or "oneline". (hopefully those voices have grown quieter by now.)

This year was intense. Each work was a challenge in itself: the standards I set for myself, the execution, the tight time frames, and the dialogue between image, poetry, text, film, and self-presentation. It was demanding and deeply fulfilling.

Looking back now, I can honestly say I’m fully content. Proud. Grateful. And yes, a small continuation may follow - the idea of turning this project into an art-book is already taking shape.

Above all, I want to say thank you. To everyone who followed, supported, challenged, and encouraged me along the way. Without your feedback, attention, and exchange, this journey would have had no meaning for me!

Thank you for your time, your energy, and your trust.
Wishing you a healthy, joyful, loving, and inspired 2026.

With gratitude,
Fatih Alasalvaroglu 🖤

Here I have created a great work of art on rocks in Cape Town, the completion of which can be seen here in the clip in interaction with nature.

I find it hard to put into words how proud this work, which I created spontaneously and without any planning under the blazing sun, makes me in my heart.

It reflects my appreciation of the beautiful things on earth and its magnetism, which immediately enchants everything around it!

Here you can see me drawing a oneline-self-portrait with a canvas and marker on the “Pont des Arts” in Paris. I called it "Don't be silent about what is happening now". It illustrates my longing for honest communication in a time whose characteristics of fear and silence stirs me anew each and every day.

Women are the plenitude of human emotion and the vessel of every creation in this world. From their loving womb grows and thrives love and future of this miracle called earth. May all women break free from all disguise of guilt, fear, self-doubt, oppression and more and continue to be the gift with the elemental power of hearts. Because women are everything, as mother nature is!

This is my first commissioned work as an artist for film and television. You can see a variety of my drawings and paintings as visual key-moments in the picture. Thanks to the producer Ilka Foerster for the pleasant cooperation.

Famous author, journalist and presenter Benjamin Stuckrad-Barre (who got in touch with my art on instagram and became a great fan of it since then) asked me to come over to the reading of his latest book at the columbia theater in berlin. Thankful for the invitation, I handed him over one of my artworks LIVE on stage, which I´ve painted several days before I met him right in the front of the audience.

German local television (RBB) became aware of the exhibition of my project "365 - Threehundredsixtyfive Days of Art" at ART STALKER and made a small contribution about me as an artist.
