Keith Rowe is one of the pioneers of the European improvisation scene. He works in a conceptual way, inspired by visual arts.
For this project, Keith Rowe will conduct the working proces of an electro-acoustic ensemble. ‘The Treatise’, a graphic score by Cornelius Cardew, will function as the formal and conceptual starting point for the rehearsals and concerts. “Playing music without playing your instrument” will be the concept behind a collective investigation into improvisation and sound.
