Asynchrone is a dynamic French collective formed in 2021, uniting musicians from Paris's free jazz and electronic scenes to honor the legacy of Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Co-founded by producer and musician Frédéric Soulard and cellist Clément Petit, the ensemble also features flutist Delphine Joussein, saxophonist Hugues Mayot, pianist Manuel Peskine, and drummer Vincent Taeger. Their debut album, "Plastic Bamboo," released in September 2023 via Nø Førmat!, reimagines Sakamoto's works with a fusion of jazz improvisation and electronic elements, reflecting influences from Debussy to Kraftwerk. Asynchrone's innovative approach has garnered acclaim for its vibrant reinterpretations and commitment to creative freedom.
