Jammin 'year 2020 "18 years of Jammin', artistic maturity unfolding between mutual interactions, nights transfigured like paintings in an exhibition, sound illustrations, impressionistic ideas.
The Muses are daughters of the Mnemosine memory, which they feed on without ever being nostalgic prey, free from any awe, pure becoming.
Why is Jazz, where is Pop, what is Nu-Soul, for whom is Hip Hop? No artist should ever be chained to a single sterile category of genre, capable only of identifying the shelves, on pain of oblivion or, worse, indifference ".

The experimentation in writing and arrangement, as well as the production of the songs, enhances the peculiarity of the project that comes to light by bringing together different experiences, aimed at the construction of a single sound that is an expression of all the individual members, reaching an original figure. and distinct.

“Synth Louis Ensemble”
directed by Luca Proietti
Synth Louis Ensemble was born as a tribute to electronic music, synthesizers and more generally to electronic musical instruments in all their forms.
The repertoire ranges from classic pieces revisited electronically, in a sort of homage to Wendy Carlos and her "Switched On Bach" - the album that made many appreciate the synthesizer as a full-fledged musical instrument - up to original compositions close to the most current trends, passing through pop songs, also revisited in electronic form.
Coordinator of the Synth Louis project is Luca Proietti: "One of the main purposes of this ensemble is to highlight the played part, often not very present in many electronic music performances"
