NEW MUSIC INCUBATOR KONSTANCIN
New Music Incubator Konstancin is a project that brings together professional new music practitioners (musicians, composers, improvisers, electronic music artist, sound artists, etc.) from the EU countries for a period of collaborative creative research. The participants will be professional artists who collectively employ a range of approaches to music and sound production including improvisation, composition and sound art, as well as classical and non-classical performers and composers. Through this meeting, New Music Incubator hopes to promote mutual professional development, skill sharing and the development of strong networks for future projects.
New Music Incubator Konstancin is organised in 2 phases:
Phase I
18 – 23 September 2017
20 selected new music practitioners from various EU countries met at Konstancin, Poland. For three days, the participants created music together, in new groups every day. 22 September, the groups performed a public concert as a Fringe event on the Warsaw Autumn Festival.
Phase II
17 – 28 February 2018
The participants will meet again in Brussels to re-develop, rehearse and perform some of the works for a public concert, February 19th 20.00 at La Venerie, central Brussels.
This phase may result in live recordings/streaming of the works and will complete a creative cycle for the participants.
