The Franco-Belgian quintet Synestet aims to activate our senses: for them, sound is more than mere sound. It’s all about evoking a tangible texture, form, colour and even scent. Directed by the French clarinettist Hélène Duret, who also composes most of their pieces, the quintet improvises with full attention to each other. Simplicity and inventiveness go hand in hand in Synestet’s music, which blooms at the intersection of influences including Ornette Coleman, Duke Ellington and Jakob Bro. At Bozar’s request, the quintet is joined by the celebrated trombonist Nils Wogram.
