Experimental improvisation in a collective

Workshop mit Bertrand Denzler
© Sean Kelly

Facilitator: Bertrand Denzler

Location: exploratorium berlin, Studio 2

This workshop is entirely dedicated to the practice of musical improvisation. It will be about experimenting with ways of listening, discovering new sonic possibilities, becoming aware of our decisions and their consequences, developing personal strategies and collective musical thinking to work towards a more or less ephemeral group idiosyncrasy.

We will also be able to explore some theoretical aspects, be it the relationship to the instrument or to the history of music, musical space-time, music as a tool for improvisation and improvisation as a tool for making music, the relationship between the sounds and the discourse of the improvisers, the role of idioms and the non-idiomatic, or the meaning of concepts such as freedom and equality.
