Riki Danni is a 22-year-old saxophonist and composer from the modest city of Tangerang. With a bold artistic vision and a deep-rooted passion for jazz, his music flourishes from the modern jazz currents of Indonesia. A contemporary voice within the evolving jazz tradition.
More than a personal outlet, Riki sees his music as a way to contribute to a broader, growing dialogue around jazz in Southeast Asia. Driven by a desire to connect with a younger generation of listeners, Riki reimagines jazz as a space for emotional honesty, reflection, and self-discovery. His compositions move with intention, balancing form and freedom, quiet introspection and bold intensity. Each piece invites listeners into a deeply personal sound world, one that encourages stillness, evokes feeling, and offers moments of resonance in an otherwise restless pace of life.
WATCHDOG may not exactly fit your idea of a jazz band, an instrumental rock group, or a contemporary
music duo, and that’s a good thing.
WATCHDOG takes a keen interest in the music that inspires them, without any concern for fitting into a
specific genre. Their approach is that of musical omnivores who have crafted their own world in a seemingly effortless way.
The duo features Anne Quillier on a wide range of keyboards and Pierre Horckmans on clarinets. Their
music is original, blending composition and improvisation, with a strong attention to detail in textures and soundscapes, and a broad range of influences, not always immediately recognizable.
