stavka Darren Cunningham Canterbury Let stavka take you to another place; a better place. Music manipulates our emotions, triggers moods and desires and influences the decisions we make. Good music is like a drug; without it we become emotionally lost, our soul a vacant vessel, our passion all but extinguished. Music is a sonic canvas, waiting to be viewed and discussed, but most importantly- enjoyed. 'J.S. Bach, Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner, Bartók and Thelonious Monk: these people didn’t just serve up pleasing sounds for our amusement, they thought in music and thought deeply. When we listen to their work, we are plugging in to a form of philosophical discourse. Indeed, “plugging in” is arguably too passive a phrase, because if we are really listening to music we are participating in it.' Andrew Ford'2012 Music like other forms of art needs to be appreciated, experienced and admired, so switch off your distractions, close your eyes, plug yourself in and participate in stavka's sonic delights. stavka are a three piece based in Canterbury, England.
