JazzMetalAbout CKRAFT:
CKRAFT blends the crushing force of Metal with the eccentric freedom of Jazz. Led by accordionist Charles Kieny, the quintet sets a Meshuggah inspired power trio (guitar, bass, drums) against the frantic breath of a tenor saxophone and a cyborg-accordion augmented with electronic sensors.
Medieval polyphonies, and other thousand years old melodies roots of Western music collide with modern creativity, opening a space for enriching cross-cultural dialogue with the Indian audience.
