Die Dozenten werden im Workshop u.a. die Konzepte ihres letzten Programmes erläutern und mit den Teilnehmern proben, sowie diese Erkenntnisse in freier Improvisation wirken lassen.

Wer also Spass daran hat, ohne Noten, aber doch nicht komplett im luftleeren Raum, aus dem Moment heraus zu musizieren, ist hier richtig.

Das Angebot richtet sich an alle, die interessiert sind, zusammen mit anderen ihre eigene Musik improvisatorisch im Moment zu entwickeln, unabhängig von Vorerfahrungen in Impro- oder Jazz-Musik.

BELLA (1988), I am a mother and a transdisciplinary artist; I investigate energetic processes through matter, sound and light. My practice includes the construction and creation of electronic instruments and objects. I am interested in the intersections of knowledge, and the tensions between art and science, technology and nature. My interdisciplinary body of work consists of sound installations, videos, new media, live performances, record releases, radio art. I also create music and do sound design for installations, film, performances and new media formats. I have participated in festivals, residencies and exhibitions such as: Mãe (55SP/Kupfer Project) – City as a Forest, Museu do Amanhã – Amplify, Oi Futuro – Music Makers Hacklab CTM Berlin – InstruMentes: music for (re)invention – SESC Jazz – OneBeat Virtual – Sonic Matter Festival – among others.

Die Hochstapler
Pierre Borel (Saxophon), Antonio Borghini (Kontrabass), Louis Laurain (Trompete, Stimme), Hannes Lingens (Schlagzeug, Vibrafon)
Die französisch-italienisch-deutsche Formation “Die Hochstapler” hat in über zehnjähriger Zusammenarbeit zu einem höchst eigenen Ansatz kollektiven Musizierens gefunden. Kartenspiele, Alphabete und Gedichte bilden die Grundlagen für einen radikal freien Diskurs. Denn im Konzert bleibt alles offen, nie wird ein Konzept genauso angewandt wie am Abend zuvor, keine Verabredung hat absolute Gültigkeit. Die vier Musiker bewegen sich als unabhängige Akteure mit dem Kompass der Kreativität im Dickicht des Regelwerks, gemeinsam oder allein, souverän, frei und immer in Bewegung.
„Few working bands have been able to find so much vitality and invention in the building blocks of improvisation.“ – Peter Margasak, Downbeat

BRAD HENKEL, famed investor-turned-improviser, hails from the same state as the renowned Silicon Valley. His avant-garde trumpet playing has saved many a business, including an exclusive European sportscar importer with some outrageous prices as well as a well-know media conglomerate.
The group's oil connections are brought by bass player and bass vocalist DAN PETER SUNDLAND, who, after his Norwegian oil wells dried up, sought refuge in diversifying his portfolio internationally. A well-known innovator on his instrument, his investments are seen as a clear sign of a projects daring and merit.
FABIAN JUNG is a real estate magnate with deep political connections (he's currently on a political sabbatical). Always striving for the hard-earned buck, he has traded his more mainstream streams of revenue for ever more esoteric ways of achieving his goal of financial success.
His background in the Cologne improvising scene was only the beginning of his trajectory, and he is an entity to keep an eye on for future future's trading and other schemes.
