Private listening · A new beginning
The House
at Pooh Corner.
A father. A son.
A song that keeps growing.
Rudolph lives with Parkinson’s. Kai has Down syndrome. Together, they have created a world of songs, characters and adventures: a way of saying “I’m here” to each other, and inviting others to find a place of their own.

A story of Rudolph and Kai
Every adventure starts
with a story.
Kai spent the first two months of his life in neonatal intensive care. Every night, I read him Winnie-the-Pooh stories.
Now these songs take us back to that first book. This EP is a tribute to those stories and the moments we shared them.
A collection of five illustrations accompanies that return: the band’s characters, the music and a world we can discover together.
Rudolph Castro
Six friends. A world of their own.
Meet
Different ways of hearing.
Different ways of moving.
One place to belong.
Before there was a band,
there were six friends.
They met in a hospital. Between long afternoons and visits, a rhythm tapped on a table became a song; a song became a reason to meet again. When it was time to leave, they kept playing.
Today, Kai & The Chromatic Band brings together neurodivergent friends and friends with disabilities. They make room for different rhythms, quiet moments and wonderfully loud ideas. Their music grows out of listening to one another — and the joy of being together.
