Music workshop "Improvisation and Concrete Composition"

Kyushu University Social Art Lab held a music workshop.

[Purpose]
We will invite Anla Courtis, an Argentine musician from Argentina who is active in the world to explore new ways to express music together. The workshop will attempt a unique approach from an experimental aspect of music, centred on improvisation. In addition to sound, we will create scores that incorporate various expressions such as visual expression, dance, and poetry.

The workshop was attended by people who were proactive and who fit the following key words.
Improvised performance / Relationship between sound and music / Creative listening of sound / Acoustic possibilities of various things and tools / Concept of rhythm through exercise / Exploring the possibilities of voice / Connection of music and other artistic expressions / Group interaction through group music performance / Specific composition and creative activities / Communication as a result announcement
