  • Bionic Robocop Left Hand: Enhanced Accordion meets Gregorian Jazz Metal

    Sometimes, musical innovation is simply born out of a desire to listen to a specific mash-up of styles that you’ve never heard mixed together - or at least not in the way you’re imagining it. French band Ckraft, led by accordionist Charles Kieny did exactly that. Their debut album “Epic Discordant Vision” is out on June 3rd.


    Chapters:

    01:45 Accidental Innovation

    06:00 The Ckraft band line-up

    08:30 building the enhanced accordion

    10:45 songwriting for Ckraft

    12:40 playing Ckraft music live

    18:40 dream bands to play with

    21:45 never enough Jazz Metal!


    🎵 Ckraft is:

    Charles Kieny – augmented accordion, composition

    Théo Nguyen Duc Long – tenor saxophone

    Antoine Morisot – electric guitar

    Marc Karapetian – electric bass

    William Bur – drums
