This is music that feels like a clean, well-lit room. It is built on the unique chemistry between Christoph Pepe Auer's bass clarinet and Manu Delago's hang drum, creating a sound that sits at the intersection of modern jazz, chamber music, and high-end lounge. The textures are incredibly tactile: you can hear the breath moving through the wood and the metallic ring of the hand-pan, all captured with clinical but warm clarity.
What makes Living Room distinctive is their restraint. They avoid the frantic improvisation of traditional jazz in favor of rhythmic cycles and melodic patterns that feel almost architectural. The hang drum provides a melodic-percussive foundation that feels both ancient and futuristic, while the clarinet weaves around it with a soulful, human vulnerability. It is sophisticated without being demanding.
Start with their self-titled album or 'Colouring Book' to hear how they transform simple acoustic elements into lush, immersive soundscapes. It is the ultimate companion for moments that require mental clarity or a gentle emotional reset.
