“Scrittura essenziale, temi densi e un linguaggio improvvisativo libero e pungente consentono di  dar  luce  all’amalgama  collettivo  e  al  simbiotico  interplay  di  Synapser”  (Marco  Delle  Fave, “Jazzit”).

Come raccontare meglio di così il nostro tentativo di creare un “insieme” che non sia riconducibile  alla  somma  delle  sue  “parti”,  in  cui  piuttosto  che  un  “piano”  si  realizzi  un “volume”,  per  far  sì  che  l’improvvisazione  sia  realmente  un  comporre  istantaneo  e  una tessitura  comune  a  più  dimensioni?  Del  resto  a  questo  principio  collettivo,  comunicativo  e  – perché  no?  –  politico,  allude  programmaticamente  il  nome  del  quartetto:  Synapser  (che potremmo  tradurre  “creatore-connettore  di  sinapsi”).  In  quella  sorta  di  ecosistema  (o  un sistema di echi?) che è un gruppo musicale è importante che tutti siano compartecipi, colgano e trasmettano segnali. Cercando di dare forma a un dialogo in jazz rimesso continuamente in discussione, con coscienza, passione e intelligenza sempre sul chi vive.


“The collective and symbiotic interplay of Synapser shines through their free and sharp improvisation over compositions characterized by a no-frills writing and very dense themes. (Marco Delle Fave, Jazzit).

What better words could one use to describe our attempt to create a combo which tries to be greater than the sum of its parts by building a space in which improvisation can truly lead to instantaneous composition and multi-dimensional textures? After all, the very name of the band represents a programmatic commitment to a collective (and – why not? – political) principle of constant communication: Synapser stands for “maker/connector of synapses”. Within that ecosystem (or system of echoes) which a band is, every one of its members has an active role in creating, relaying and transmitting signals to each other. In doing so, Synapser tries to give shape to a jazz dialogue that is continuously questioned, in an attempt to keep the consciousness, passion and intelligence of this music always on their toes.
