BIRDsessions, our weekly hang, is the musical playground for musicians and music lovers. Seasoned pros and early talents meet each other in the pit and, while improvising, crush barriers, differences, labels and genres. Are you in?

CLOD! makes music to restore the broken dreams of teenage years. Those dreams sound like a sweet and sour mash-up of nostalgic melodies and improvisation based on danceable beats. CLOD! is the project of jazz bassist and composer Alessandro Fongaro. He experiments with sounds and his way of songwriting is straightforward and loose, like indie rock.
