Abstract Adventures presents during three consecutive days experimental and avant-garde music. The focus lies on the working process and on the relation between the different music styles and philosophical visions. The result of these confrontations is a ‘melting’ of diverse music scenes and the blurring of the demarkations between written and improvised music, between composer and musician, and between disciplines.
Abstract Adventures is a coproduction between MUSiCLAB/Les Bains::Connective and Q-O2.
