Call For Pieces
Since 2020, developing a worldwide network of composers/sound designers/music creators who are interested in creating pieces for solo double bass and/or double bass ensemble. A series of free online workshops exploring the instrument and exploring technical and musical possibilities of the bass, additionally focusing on how material can be interpreted and developed through improvisation (and vice versa), and providing the possibility to co-develop and collaborate on musical/interdisciplinary projects.
