SUPPORTED by FOR FOREST - the voice for trees

The main project of the Italian guitarist and composer Giacomo Zanus brings together a group of four creative musicians, all based in the North-East of Italy and active in the jazz and experimental jazz scene.
KORA is a project born with the necessity to merge composition with (free) improvisation by working with different structures and languages.
The result is a honest and uncompromised approach to music itself without any kind of limits and pre-established boundaries.
The comminling of electronic and acoustic instruments represents the common thread of the musical flow, capable to take the listener through a large array of sound evocations and musical textures, from contemporary classical music to modern jazz, avant-garde and folk.
Dreamy „cinematographic“ melodies, songs, chamber composotions, sketches of sacred music alternate with sudden and radical improvisations, combining melody with abstraction, „rational“ instinct with unpredictable.

Noise, Silence, Action | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt In this event, the GMPU Experimental Music Workshop will perform works by Pullitzer Prize recipient, Diné musician and artist Raven Chacon; experimental music mavericks Christian Wolff and James Tenney; and founding member of the Fluxus Movement Alison Knowles. Each work explores alternative forms of musical notation including graphical scores and text-based event scores that result in sounds and actions that challenge the very definition of music and prompt innovative and unconventional performance practices. These works also encourage a new form of listening and engaging with music by probing extremal and liminal musical spaces: from the almost imperceptibly soft and sparse to the loud and dense. In some cases, the music even reaches "beyond sound" through the consideration of colonial histories and the navigation of social systems and their corresponding power dynamics.
