Music improvisation as a means to liberate the imagination and creativity of music.
The workshop participants will improvise using verbal instructions, but also scores that contain only words and / or figures (verbal and graphic scores). In this context everyone can play music, no matter if they know any musical instrument or music notation.
Aimed at musicians, amateur musicians and people who do not play an instrument and do not have any kind of musical experience. The only requirement for membership is a desire to experiment with musical instruments, objects and / or voice, and the pursuit of a collective musical experience.
During the workshop for experimental music and music improvisation Level II participants will study in depth graphic and verbal scores in order to present them in concert.
