In November 2003, Martyn Bennett supported Peter Gabriel at a one-off concert in Brighton. Sadly it was to prove to be Martyn's final live performance before his untimely death in 2005 at the age of just 33. In this clip, recorded on the night in Brighton, Peter reflects on the impact that hearing Martyn's album GRIT for the first time had on him, as well as his thoughts on Martyn as an artist in general. You can listen to the short interview with Peter here, interwoven with some of the music from the GRIT album.

Who We Are (Dominik Sartorius Remix)

Lush guitar riffs and energetic, gloomy synthesizers alternate with delicate, hopeful piano sounds and refined string arrangements. Always there: the big, catchy melodies and polyphonic choirs. 
Gion Stump & The Lighthouse Project are a live experience, whether in a small club or on the big open air stage. With a lot of charisma and irrepressible energy, the five musicians from St. Gallen fascinate the audience at their shows with their typical, varied mix of humorous, profound lyrics and melancholic, sometimes dark, but always confident songs straight from life. This captivating mix is also promised by the songs on the new album - from danceable, bombastic electro-rock anthems to intimate piano duets.
