Musical Chairs

Musical Chairs is an experimental free-flow improvisation collective which centers around one goal: the non-stop creative search for excitingly new, beautiful music. Anything can happen as virtually all musical genres are eagerly explored and originally woven together in ways no one could have ever foreseen. In fact, Musical Chairs is about Amazement itself: the musicians and singers continuously surprise themselves, for they too can never predict what they will find or create.

Jacques, A Robin

Often compared to the likes of Antony and the Johnsons, Scott Walker and Richard Hawley, Jacques, a robin’s singing and songwriting stem from Davide Ariasso’s genuine soul journey. This started in Italy, his country of origin, and quite naturally landed in England, where many of the artists who inspired him came from. His dark, sensual and solitary music investigates archetypal themes, literary characters and dreamy, eerie, melancholy stories that seek to inspire a search for truthful expression.
