Varv is a crossover project (contemporary jazz, electronic) formed by Andrea Cappi on keyboards and Francesco Mascolo on drums. Their music blends written material, improvisation, and sound manipulation. The name of the project evokes both the evocative and structural nature of their research: a path that unfolds through layers, overlapping different influences and languages until it forms a narrative that opens onto distant landscapes. In geology, a varve is an annual layer of sedimentary rock that records the passage of time and its transformations, like wrinkles on a face. In the same way, the duo’s music seeks to build itself through accumulation and mutation.
