Antoine Chessex

Antoine Chessex

Antoine Chessex is a swiss saxophone player, improviser, composer and experimental musician born in 1980 in Vevey (CH).

His works are based on the exploration of the physicality of sounds and spaces.

Nowadays Chessex plays mostly as a solo performer appearing either in fully acoustic settings where his circular breathing drones react with the sonic architecture of the space he is performing in or amplifying his horn with amps or PA systems and electronic devices often resulting in intense live actions.His solo performances are experiences in total immersion in sound.

In addition to intensive touring as a solo performer, Chessex has also been playing with the band MONNO (Conspiracy records) and collaborating with different international musicians like Thomas Ankersmit, C. Spencer Yeh, Chris Corsano, Axel Dörner, Dave Phillips, Hans Koch, Kasper T. Toeplitz, Christian Weber, Clayton Thomas, architect Christian Waldvogel (Globus Cassus) and media artist Ulrike Gabriel(flow 2002-2003).
