Internal Call for Composers
Participating composers are invited to develop a sketch for one work (up to 5 minutes maximum) for the duo viola da gamba and double bass. The workshop aims at developing open-form pieces in a collaborative process, including (but not limited to) guided improvisation approach between the composers and the performers.
The duo can be extended by other „tools“ such as voice, pedals setup, or electronics (performed by the composer).
Three composers will be selected for the workshop. We will meet in three sessions between 20 and 27 July (concrete dates and times will be communicated later).
The works will be performed by Eva and Florentin (and the composers if needed) in an Open Space on 27 July 2025.
