Free Improvisation – Ada Rave, 28 juli – 3 augustus 2024
Improvisation is a part of our human condition, it’s not only a special gift for the inspiration moments, it’s the way we live our daily life. It’s part of all music.
Free Improvisation as a musical genre is not tied to any particular style, it is the self expression of each person integrating their own musical and life experiences.
Free improvisation is also an important tool to push our boundaries and develop our musical skills and abilities, such as creativity, listening, confidence, respect, decisiveness, risk-taking and responsibility.
Throughout Free Improvisation we face the instant of creation and co-creation of music, and it puts all of our senses in direct communication with the others and the environment.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for all the musicians who want an approach to Free Improvisation and are interested in developing a way to expand their own expression.
Musicians from all disciplines are welcome: contemporary, jazz, classical, rock, world music, no boundaries for musical adventurers.
What are we going to do?
The workshop consists in creating an ensemble to play together in a spontaneous connecting way.
This requires instantly and constant decision making, based on careful listening, confidence and a creative attitude to let the music flow. We will work methodically on different aspects, elements and musical parameters, as well as possibilities of creating an instantly composed piece in group or alone.
The approach to free improvised music will be through guidelines and group games, creating a graphic score together, conducting the ensemble with a sign system, extending the sonic aspects of our instruments, playing sound atmospheres inspired by nature or an energetic free jazz momentum and to celebrate our instant music week we will give a final concert.
About Ada Rave
Ada Rave (1974, Comodoro Rivadavia), is an Argentinian saxophonist, improviser and composer. Ada’s instrumental approach is based on research into a wide variety of techniques, conventional and unorthodox, which allow her to create a highly personal narrative in real time composition. In addition to her ability to perform with an incredible degree of abstraction, she also boasts one of the boldest tenor sounds around.
