Λ NEW DIMENSION OF LIVE MUSIC
Symphony of CAOS is a unique orchestral performance that blends symphonic music, advanced technology, and visual storytelling into an unprecedented multisensory experience. At the heart of the show is ASCO, ranked #131 DJ in the world, leading an orchestra of strings, brass, percussion, and a lyrical choir, creating the perfect juxtaposition between the harmony of classical music and the chaos of techno sounds generated live by ASCO himself.
The show has already captivated thousands of spectators at each performance enchanting a diverse audience with its unique combination of sound and spectacular visuals. The visual effects, including flames, CO2 jets, and timed pyrotechnics, amplify the impact of the performance, making it a viral sensation on social media. Each performance explores the theme of CAOS and order, featuring orchestral renditions of dance hits and modern remixes of classical masterpieces, culminating in a perfect synthesis of harmony and chaos, leaving the audience with an immersive and unforgettable experience.
Alessandro Xiueref, better known as ASCO, is the Italian DJ, producer, and conductor who is redefining the rules of electronic music with his groundbreaking show, Symphony of CAOS.
ASCO has achieved international fame as a DJ and producer, ranked #131 in the DJ Mag Top 100. He has performed across the globe, from the USA to China, Japan, Vietnam, India, Nepal, and Thailand, playing at major festivals like Ultra Music Festival in Miami and Balaton Sounds, and at world-renowned clubs such as Illuzion Phuket, Playhouse Chengdu, Playhouse Chongqing, and Catwalk Guangzhou.
Discovered by Sander Van Doorn and Blasterjaxx, ASCO has released dozens of tracks on Spinnin’ Records, including collaborations with the Dutch duo. His distinctive sound has also caught the attention of Don Diablo and Hardwell, who have released his music on Hexagon and Revealed. His iconic track “Fuga”, released on Doorn, was featured by GoPro in their annual “Year in Review” campaign.
ASCO’s brand, CAOS, represents a new concept that encompasses a record label, live shows, and a clothing line. In 2022, ASCO launched Symphony of CAOS, a unique and immersive experience that blends various art forms into an unprecedented show. Featuring ASCO conducting a live orchestra, accompanied by a classical choir and theatrical performances, the project has become the centerpiece of his career, establishing ASCO as the first orchestral DJ, often hailed as “the classical music DJ”.
ORCHESTRΛ
As we will see later, the configuration of the orchestra is modular and can be adapted according to the venue’s capacity or the specific needs of the event. The full ensemble consists of 24 musicians, plus a lyrical choir, but it can be downsized as needed.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Symphony of CAOS is the ability to assemble the orchestra on-site, involving local artists from the host city. These musicians are trained directly by ASCO during rehearsals in the days leading up to the show, thus highlighting local talent and the region’s culture.
CHOIR
An essential part of Symphony of CAOS is the presence of a powerful choir, adding emotional depth and dramatic impact to the show. Together with DJ and producer ASCO, the choir creates unique performances that reimagine classical masterpieces and bring new life to iconic dance anthems.
The project has already reached millions of listeners worldwide, with viral success on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and continues to captivate audiences with its blend of tradition and innovation.
Symphony of CAOS also offers the possibility of involving local singers or choirs from each host city, who can be trained and prepared during rehearsals before the performance, further enhancing local talent and cultural heritage.
