Walking Cliché Sextet

Walking Cliché Sextet is a jazz-based group that explores the line between polyphonic organization to chaotic noise. Thus, the group’s interest is focused on creating layers of harmony, rhythm, noise-like textures through both composition and improvisation. The group was first formed on March, 2019 and selected as a jazz honor ensemble of New England Conservatory on 2019/2020 year. They also had a tour to South Korea on Jan, 2020, supported by SFAC(Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture). Their first single “Suite Chase Reflex” was released on Jan, 2021 and will be releasing new recording Nov, 2021.
