In this symbiotic concert, everyone feeds off everyone else, lives musically from each other, supports, contrasts, interferes and cooperates. Texts and spontaneous conversations form a symbiosis between sound and spirit. It is about the infection by the wild moment and its anamnesis through artistic research. Eighteen musicians from different countries play host and symbiont with ad hoc improvisation art in various ensemble formations. This event is also the opening concert for the public symposium Current Research on Improvisation, which will take place on the following two days from February 1 – 2, 2020 at the exploratorium berlin.

Moderation: Reinhard Gagel
