Pat Burgener started snowboarding at the age of 5, on the slopes of Crans-Montana. In the years that followed, he was diagnosed with ADHD, cemented his position on the Swiss national team, earning high finishes at Olympic events, and launched a music career. NBHAP author, Elana Shapiro sits down with him to discuss how he found ways to create his own structures through music and sport, and how the two are intrinsically interlinked within his world.
Sadness can come from many places and one thing has remained for sure in the past years: Music can be both - translator and accelerator for these feelings. Bored Nothing's tragic self-titled debut from 2012 is exactly such an album and it clearly had an effect on the beloved Swedish newcomers.
