WORKSHOP​

​

In “Sketches Orchestra” we approach music-making as a collective process. We will further develop your ideas, snippets or composition sketches in a band context, taking on any challenges that may arise as we work toward forming a unified sound-body. We’ll also talk about social structures, the many different roles one can take on within an ensemble, and what it means to give up control of one’s own music. Together we’ll think about playing strategies and try to find the essence of each piece. We’ll experiment with sounds and moods and concern ourselves with improvisation, groove and the tension between melody and bass line. 

Through our work we will gradually become closer to one another and find a common language in making music. Anyone with a solid basic knowledge

of their instrument and an interest in various forms of musical expression is invited to take part.
