This is warm and welcoming invitation to explore in-the-moment, collaborative music-making with instruments and voices. 

Calling out to music-makers from any musical background who wish to play, connect, experiment and exchange through music, this event is aimed at people who are comfortable with creating in-the-moment music, or willing and excited to have a go. All instruments and voices are welcome!

We are Liz, Phoebe and Emma, three musicians in Brighton, London and Leeds each inspired by vocal improvisation and Musicians Without Borders principles. After around two years of restriction and isolation, we want to create spaces for musicians to come together and play, making music from scratch.

We’ll explore games and starting points for leading and shaping in-the-moment music, finding the sweet balance between conductor-led and individual creative expression.

Outside any boundaries of genre, this is an opportunity to try a range of instruments and connect creatively with others. You will have the chance to make stuff up, lead others, follow other parts, harmonise, experiment with different ways of approaching your instrument, try new instruments, co-create conducting language, play in smaller and larger groups, listen, dance, enjoy, and more. What comes about may be funky, groove-based, lyrical, or perhaps more experimental, textural, unusual.

Focussing on musical nourishment, inspiration, and connection, this spaces is lightly facilitated, with an emphasis on confidence-building, exploration, and fun!
