In a workshop concert and in conversation with Vlatko Kučan
We have invited the TAI No-Orchestra from Milan to an exciting workshop concert for SPIIC+ Lecture Concert no.15. TAI No-Orchestra is the brainchild of Massimo Falascone, Roberto Del Piano and Roberto Masotti and manifests itself as an artist collective that allows musical improvisations to interact with video performances, not ignoring the possible overlap with words and dance gestures. TAI develops special projects, invades spaces, composes and decomposes at will, depending on the place and circumstances.
On this evening, the protagonists of the TAI No-Orchestras will join students from the SPIIC+ ensemble for a workshop followed by a concert and a conversation with Vlatko Kučan about their work.

TAI is not really a collective, nor, as the title suggests, an orchestra: so what is it? It is an inventory, i.e. a roll call, a depot, a tool room, the tool shed in the garden, the pantry, a waiting list, a menu or list of ingredients, an overview of authors, credits, acknowledgements, a list, a list...
followers, a list of followers who respond to a call, a project and are available for it. Now the world is full of projects, and rightly so, but it is difficult to realize them, given the moment. So is TAI vague? No, it tries to free itself from the difficulties by making various proposals, even paradoxical for an orchestra. At this point, let's call it a no-ORCHESTRA, a provocation, a divertissement. What awaits us are concerts, events, festivals under the sign of sonic and visual diversity, the latter being a particular feature of the TAI project, which is aimed at a curious and refined public that appreciates more or less extreme improvisational practices.
If Cage used a star atlas to compose his Atlas Elipticalis, we will be content to let our objects, instruments with acoustic and electronic sounds, our visions, colors, sound and visual devices of various kinds float on imaginary musical maps. We collect, juxtapose, superimpose all the fragments that make up our sound atlas, draw it and constantly renew it. Always on a journey of discovery, on an eternal and everlasting journey of curiosity.

SPIIC+
SOCIALPERFORMANCE, INTERDISCIPLINARY IMPROVISATION & CREATIVITY
Improvisation as a universal method and attitude of artistic production and a bridge to interdisciplinary collaboration.
In recent years, improvisation has increasingly become the focus of an interdisciplinary discourse:
it is no longer understood as a special form of artistic practice, but increasingly as an independent position in the sense of a fundamental ethical attitude and as a universal creative method not only of artistic production.

As part of the ligeti-zentrum - artistic research lab, SPIIC+, under the direction of Vlatko Kučan, explores these questions and sheds light on aspects of artistic improvisation in theory and practice.
