About

A Japanese garden is a fitting metaphor for the music of Chequerboard. This music is raked, and tended to, with such focus and care that each sound rises and falls in its own being without ever losing purpose or beauty.

-Avant Port Music

Chequerboard is the music of Dublin guitarist and composer John Lambert. Built around acoustic guitar, with strings, electronics and other instrumentation, the music occupies a space somewhere between post-rock, ambient and contemporary instrumental.
