ImproCON, which is a project supported by the AAA, started at Kumrovec (CRO) in 2014 as a platform for artistic and theoretical cooperation: Musicians of free improvised cross-border music scenes meet with visual and video artists, theoreticians, curators and music organizers for an exchange and common experiments. Kumrovec is also the birthplace of Josip Broz Tito. In 2016 “Schaumbad” from Graz was invited to join the cooperation.
The call of the region of Styria titled “The limits of my language are the limits of my world. Is that how it works?” inspired an even stronger mix of theory and practice which includes the specific resources of Graz, such as the internationally acclaimed musical college and the lively cultural scene of the city.
Interested musicians are invited to bring their instruments and participate in the free sessions. The organizers look forward to a numerous participation! Travel costs and overnight stays may be taken care of after previous consultation.
