Description in clear steps
In this workshop, the group meets once or twice, for a minimum of 3 hours in total. Participants collaborate on creating new music. The whole process is guided by the facilitator and adapted to each group. The facilitator gives instructions and asks questions, to lead the participants on their musical path, both in smaller groups and all together. The process is independent of the participants’ musical background, and each piece is unique, both in style and composition. At the end of the workshop the outcome is live-recorded, and participants get a copy of the music created. For those who want to participate in this workshop, please contact the artist, Gunnar Ben.
