SAP(e) is a minimal improvised music trio based in Montpellier (South of France) and working since 2001. Its menbers comes from different musical backgrounds, such as Rock, Jazz, Electronic and Acousmatic music. Together, they are creating a common language based on an extreme care towards the listening experience and the restriction of material. Sonic landscapes shaped in radicality throught precise dynamics and events are leading the listeners to a distant and precarious dream where a melodic dimension is not forgotten.
A quartet at first, SAP(e) has quickly turned into a trio format with the goal of increasing and rendering more efficient his minimal willingness. The band has allways took care in documenting his work, even if the recording process in the case of improvised music may seems a bit frustrating or incomplete. To balance this aspect, they carefully select the material that appear on their records, in order to leave the listener with something enjoyable in itself.
Their music has been released on Rude Awakening Présente (France), Trente Oiseaux (Germany) and etlefeucomme (Belgium).
The trio is also interested in collaborations. They have notably played with Sylvain Chauveau (ON, Ensemble O, etc...) and the german composer and improviser Bernhard Günter.
