Sharp writing focuses on numerous references, without barriers or predetermined style.

Nothing gets built; everything is already here, without hierarchy; SNaP taps, slices and puts together at will.

« SNaP est à équidistance de Santacruz et de Tokyo, le lieu idéal pour frapper le monde comme un cocktail. »
« BRAS » s'inscrit dans son temps.
Immédiateté, ruptures, énergie froide, multiplications des informations brèves et ultra-rapide, la musique de SNaP se reçoit de manière instantanée et invite l'auditeur à l'immersion.
L'écriture tranchante s'agence autour de références multiples et décloisonnées. Rien ne se construit, tout est déjà là, sans hiérarchie ; SNaP pioche, découpe et assemble à sa guise.
