By creating conducted instant compositions, the VIENNA IMPROVISERS ORCHESTRA engages in a special discourse of experimental composition and complex improvised music for large ensembles: the architecture of a piece of music is designed ad hoc and communicated to the ensemble musicians by the instant composition conductor with hand signs for parameters such as pitch or dynamics, on the basis of which the musicians implement their own ideas.

MUSIC, RESISTANCE, AND THE POWER OF LISTENING

EM GUIDE is a network of independent music magazines that focus on stories often found on the margins: in DIY venues, local experimental music scenes, community radio stations, listening rooms, art university studios and grassroots communities whose voices are all too frequently drowned out by the mainstream narratives.
