Richard\'s music is quirky, beautiful, original and something different.* *Orchestral pieces, chamber music, piano pop, jazzy grooves, witty but sarcastic story-telling and a crooner voice. It\'s all in the asterisk.

Album Notes

Richard Kapp, born 1976, is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist living in the city of Vienna, Austria. From an early age he has been involved in the creation of music, first came the piano, then came the drums, later a bit of guitar. A prolific musician in his native city he has been involved in many different musical projects as a keyboardist, drummer and composer.

His style has been desribed as very unique, original, quirky, smart, camp, dramatic, cynical and in-love-with-harmony. Richard\'s music reminds about easily overlooked details in our society, emotions, pathetic acts and dreams. Richard\'s music has been compared to ELO, The Divine Comedy, Burt Bacharach, 10cc, Noel Coward, Scott Walker, Hawksley Workman, Van Dyke Parkes. Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds and many other musicians.

Richard\'s album \"Asterisk\" clearly shows Richard\'s musical evolution by touching earthy ground with personal but quite cynical yet earnest lyrics, less electronical influences, clever arrangements and longing harmonies.

Well done
author: onceupon
A inspired and balanced piece of music by a nice young aspirant for a place in the international pop business. Reminds me on: Neil Hannon, Carole King, Billy Joel, Burt Bacharach, Rufus Wainright

Superb

Richard Kapp really is a very special songwriter. He often reminds me of Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) but he definitely has his very own style and musical signature. How he adresses all this various emotions and layers with highly original and instant-melodies, longing harmonies, witty lyrics and beautiful arrangements is sometimes unbelievable. So, if you like The Divine Comedy, Ben Folds, Duke Special or Beirut I think that you will also fall in love with the music of this unique austrian songwriter.
