ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop invites participants into a shared space of listening, experimentation, and collective creativity. Through improvisation, sound becomes a means of exploration, exchange, and discovery, where each participant contributes to shaping the musical experience.
Working with instruments, electronics, objects, voice, and silence, the session will explore different approaches to spontaneous music-making. Simple exercises and collective practices will encourage attentive listening, responsiveness, risk-taking, and collaboration. Improvisation is approached not as a display of technical ability, but as a process of engaging with sound and with one another.
Open to musicians and non-musicians alike, the workshop welcomes anyone interested in exploring improvisation, noise, experimental music, or new ways of listening. No previous experience is required. Participants are welcome to bring an instrument, a sound-making object, or simply their voice.
