Sploh Institute for art production and
publishing is engaged in music, performing arts and intermedia arts production,
publishing and education.
Primarily it is oriented towards developing, staging,
establishing and reflecting musical practices that dip a toe in the waters of:
-
improvisation,
i.e. braking free from the pre-prepared forms, syntaxes, rhythms and sound
spectrums;
- historically aware, but unconventional
contemporary composition, which is
risky, open to various genres and connected to the development of technologies;
- sound and technological experiments, which
include diverse playing techniques, new compositional procedures and working with
new technological interfaces for creating music.
