Tomaž Grom understands music as a medium of communication
rather than aesthetic pleasure. He wants to find reasons for making music.
Uncompromisingly he prods at social norms. Music for him is a form of seeking,
unanswered questions, flow of ideas, unpredictable situations. Composition is
improvisation. Improvisations offers him space to lose himself, to make
mistakes, to come up with intriguing solutions. In music, challenges invite
thinking and open up new possibilities. He misses a deep and complex analysis.
He is the founder and artistic director of Zavod Sploh, an associaton
devoted to the production of music and performing arts as well as to
education and publishing in the field.
iMstrument is a collection of
sound and video recordings of musicians who are developing their own
individual
musical language and an audiovisual experimental instrument. Selecting
the source, turning on and off, defining volume and rendomness are
parameters that allow the user to play music.An ever-unrepeatable
composition is constantly formed in front of eyes and ears.
iMstrument is a continuously evolving
creation, combining original and live music. It is taking place at the
intersection of technologically processed contemporary sonority and the elementarity
of clean sounds in connection with digitized recording. It is a meeting place of
the absent technologically reproduced performers and the immediate presence of
the user.
