-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the Swiss-Balkan Creative Music Project is to developp new links between swiss and balkan musicians in the field of contemporary improvised music.The working sessions will give the musicians the possibility to explore together new and fresh practices in electro-acoustic improvised music.
The music is made of sonic architectures, colours and textures and moves between pure sound and abstract noise complexity.
The project is realised in 3 phases : April 2007, November 2007 and spring 2008.
For the first and second phase, the Ensemble Rue du Nord is travelling and meeting different local musicians.
The third phase will permit to have several concerts in different cities and mix the balkan musicians in the spirit of the « Company Weeks » by Derek Bailey.
Participants for the tour on March-April 2008:
