Chassol live in Bellinzona

Experience Chassol live on October 31st

Chassol, the stage name of Antoine Hersen, will perform at Teatro Sociale Bellinzona on October 31, 2026. His musical style is characterized by “pianorama,” a self-developed technique involving real-time sampling and looping of sounds – often vocal – combined with piano playing. This creates layered, textural compositions frequently described as blending elements of jazz, classical music, and electronic soundscapes. Chassol’s work often incorporates field recordings and explores themes of memory and perception. He has released several albums including *Ligne Parallèle* and *Fourchette*, and collaborated with artists like Frank Ocean and Woodkid.
