Today we celebrate 4 tracks that feel like an endless journey in the complex universe of jazz. With Eternal Synergy, bassist and composer R.S. Riverman delivers a bold, season-inspired suite that blends the precision of modern jazz with the fire of improvisation. Performed with some of Bulgaria’s leading musicians, the album moves from the frozen stillness of winter to the radiant bloom of summer, capturing the timeless interplay between sound, emotion, and change – a record that resonates far beyond borders.
"I wanted to balance the precision of composition with the spontaneity of improvisation, while staying true to my roots in fusion and modern jazz. Each of the four pieces represents a season, each with its own sonic palette – sometimes contemplative and spacious, other times fiery and explosive. For me, it’s about using texture, emotion, and imagination to paint vivid musical landscapes.", Radoslav elaborates.
My spotlight of the day is one of my favourite tracks on the record, "Neon Drift" - a true embodiment of modern jazz. I had an incredibly long day, but this one helped me keep going. I love the ebbs and flows between powerful and soothing melodies and the intricate details in the composition. A beautiful way to finish the EP, and damn that slap bass!
