Síncopaz

Síncopaz is a sound project that taps into an ancient truth passed down through the ages: rhythm and sound as the heartbeat of connection. Síncopaz is a project that dives into the active creation of sound through the powerful phenomenon of sympathetic resonance—the natural ability of people to literally vibe together and attuning to shared frequencies.

By actively connecting through rhythm and sound, we can unlock the potential for deeper connections between each other. In the drum circle, every beat and every note is a pulse of shared energy. Each participant actively shapes and responds to the vibrations around them. This resonance goes beyond mere sound—it’s a pathway to get a conversation started that can go beyond languages spoken.

At its core, síncopaz draws on the ancient wisdom that rhythm can shift our physical state, a melody can alter our emotions and harmony can open our minds. Through the intentional creation of sound, music, and voice – this project aims to break down barriers. As we drum together, our individual vibrations sync. We get invited to explore how sound connects us all.
