International Encounters On Matters Of Sound I

private, Capalbio (Rome)

3-5 June 2014

Coming from a wide range of different backgrounds, nine musicians and one dancer have been invited to perform a public concert without a director, any written score, previous rehearsals or librettos.The desire was to reunite musicians tending to a very pure, almost sterling musical journey, within a decontextualized communal environment, in order to verify the possible different dynamics of interaction.

How is the process of collaborative composition undertaken given such conditions? How much can a music genre or style keep itself as a whole (integral/undamaged) when exposed to other musical languages in a given context such as an improvisational live set?
