Circuit Kisser
Circuit Kisser is an electronic ensemble that consists of four group members: a lead EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument), three supporting synthesizers played simultaneously, electric bass/bass synthesizer and drums. The group was founded by Chimy and features exclusively his compositions and arrangements. They are one of very few, “synth bands” that feature live, mostly non-sequenced, semi-improvised electronic music, combining elements of prog rock, jazz and classical music. The end result is a nostalgic, epic soundscape delivered in a high-quality package. Their debut album, Faking the Moon Landing was released in 2019 and their sophomore album is expected in late 2022.
CHIMYTINA
Dan "Chimy" Chmielinski and Martina DaSilva are New York based jazz musicians who began making music together in 2014. "ChimyTIna" is their collaborative project, featuring tight-knit vocal/bass arrangements of classic jazz standards, folk tunes and popular music. In December 2019, ChimyTina released the winter holiday-inspired album A Very ChimyTina Christmas. The album received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, NPR, The New York Times and more. Their upcoming album, Constellations, is set for release in June of 2022.
Four by Four
