The Europe-funded project I AM ABROAD is now calling for applications from improvisation artists to perform in Barcelona, Vienna and Gothenburg and to have a chance to participate in more performances and new co-creation and networking sessions.
I AM ABROAD is the new European project promoted by Taller de Músics, Barcelona, designed to strengthen improvised music networks in the European music ecosystem. Selected through LIVEMX, the project starts October 2024 and launches a series of actions aimed at responding to the needs of free improvisation artists in the export of their music.
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.
Two musicians in each location will be selected to participate in the international project, with travel, accommodation, and fees covered for the events in the other cities. The dates of the international sessions are as follows:
- 2–5 December 2024: Vienna, Austria (KickJazz, DE/SEMBLE, ‘Monday Sessions’).
- 12–14 March 2025: Barcelona (JAZZ I AM, JazzSí Club)
- 4–6 September 2025: Gothenburg, Sweden (Knutpunkt and Brötz)
