“Life vest under your seat” is a project created in 2023 by drummer and producer Benjamin COLIN.

"Life vest under your seat" est un projet créé en 2023 par le batteur et producteur Benjamin COLIN. Musicien de formation classique, il accompagne d’abord divers artistes (Yan Vagh, Théodore Paul et Gabriel, Aïtone...) avant d’être initié à la composition jazz par Sébastien Jarrousse en 2021. Entouré de François Poitou (basse), Hamza Touré (saxophone) et Michel Gagliolo (piano et synthétiseurs), il est influencé par la scène jazz anglaise (Yussef Dayes, Shabaka Hutchings), mais également par la musique contemporaine (utilisation des modes de Messiaen) et électronique (Tim hecker, Autechre).Si le jazz reste le fil rouge du projet, Life vest under your seat fait aussi des incursions dans la musique d’avant-garde.
