I AM ABROAD is the new European project promoted by Taller de Músics, designed to strengthen improvised music networks in the European music ecosystem. Selected through LIVEMX, the project starts this October and launches a series of actions aimed at responding to the needs of free improvisation artists in the export of their music.
Barcelona, Vienna and Gothenburg will work together on this initiative, organising music co-creation events and bringing together key players in each country, such as music export offices, international meetings and venues.
The project will include sessions open to the public in the different participating cities, which will take place on the following dates: 12 November at JazzSí Club (Barcelona), 13 November at Das Werk club (Vienna), in collaboration with the DE/SEMBLE festival, and 20 November at Musikens Hus (Gothenburg), together with the Knutpunkt association. During these sessions, a number of artists will be selected for international promotion and will be integrated into a network that will connect them with institutions and professionals in the sector. I AM ABROAD will thus continue with more performances and new co-creation and networking sessions, scheduled for December 2024 in Vienna, March 2025 in Barcelona and September 2025 in Gothenburg.
All free improvisation artists are invited to join the session on 12 November at the JazzSí Club in Barcelona, where at least two artists will be selected to participate in the international events of the project. Pre-registration is required before 12 November 2024.
