Il laboratorio avrà una durata di cinque giorni (3-4 ore al giorno) ed è rivolto a persone di tutte le età, con qualche esperienza in campo musicale e strumentale.

Esplorando le diverse tecniche d'improvvisazione e composizione, suoneremo alcuni pezzi e tracce da me proposte.

This is a five day (3-4 hour daily) workshop for people of all ages with at least some musical experience and competency on their instruments. We will explore different techiniques of experimental/free improvisation and composition, play several pieces and improvisational forms by Lurie, and compose one group piece to perform in the Sarteano Jazz Festival, June 20.

Although the workshop will briefly discuss basic blues and jazz forms, the emphasis of the workshop will be on more experimental techniques of playing and composing. The goal is to challenge students to create their own compositions and improvisational games. We will apply techniques such as Sound Ball, the addititive process, tone rows, matrix grids, call and response, and group conducting. Also we will form small and large improvising groups, with a focus on listening and dialoging within the music. The final group piece will reflect participants' compositional ideas and uses of these techniques.
