Synesthetic4 was founded in 2017 by Vincent Pongracz and Peter Rom. Since then, the quartet has attracted attention with concerts on several renowned stages (Jazzfest Saalfelden, Ljubljana Jazzfestival, Jazzwerkstatt Bern, April Jazz, Wiener Konzerthaus, Orbit Jazz Johannesburg): The program, in which elements of contemporary music, jazz, funk and electronics merge atmospherically, moves "confidently between madness and wit" (© Tom Gsteiger). The ensemble, which provides the "colorful head cinema" and "creative virtuosity" (©Austrian Sounds), also consists of Manuel Mayr and Andreas Lettner. The band received the German Record Critics' Award in the "Grenzgänge" category for their album Pickedem. The quartet's stylistically incomparable music videos, which move in an original way between slapstick and rap video, have also won several awards. Their third studio album entitled "Bread" is now being released.
