Synergy Vocals

Synergy Vocals is a British vocal ensemble renowned for their work in contemporary classical and minimalist music. Formed in the 1970s, they’ve become synonymous with groundbreaking collaborations, particularly with composers like Steve Reich, whose works *Drumming* and *Music for 18 Musicians* feature their razor-sharp precision and rhythmic vitality. Their performances often blur the line between vocals and instrumentation, bringing hypnotic textures to life in pieces such as *Jacob’s Ladder* and *Traveler’s Prayer*. Beyond Reich, they’ve lent their versatile voices to projects ranging from Berio’s *Sinfonia* to Louis Andriessen’s *De Staat* (inspired by Anaïs Nin), cementing their reputation as pioneers of avant-garde vocal artistry. Whether in studio recordings or live settings (like their 2023 collaboration with Colin Currie at Fondation Louis Vuitton), Synergy Vocals continues to shape the soundscape of modern experimental music with fearless creativity.
