CCCC is a collaborative project born from the union of Chiara Civello and Clap! Clap! (Cristiano Crisci), two artists who share a joint drive for musical exploration and crossing genre boundaries. On one side is one of Italy’s most internationally recognized voices, seamlessly moving between jazz, songwriting, and Brazilian music; on the other is one of the most celebrated producers in the contemporary electronic scene, known for creating a sound signature that weaves together electronic music, global rhythms, sonic research, and club culture.
Their meeting gives rise to a novel artistic dialogue where songwriting, improvisation, and electronic production coexist without hierarchy. CCCC defies genre boundaries, blending electronics, jazz, art-pop, and influences from diverse global traditions into a deeply personal soundscape. Their debut album, set for release in October 2026, marks the launch of Quarter Moon Records, the new independent label founded by Chiara Civello as a space for artistic collaborations and cross-disciplinary projects.
