WHAT WE RECOMMEND
Music workshop with Lado Jakša
‘Depicted musical scores’

Wednesday, 30th June 2010 at 9 am, in the Small Hall of the Kulturni dom Nova Gorica

“The music workshop will focus on making music on the stage simultaneously on the basis of artistic, graphic, photo and multivision symbols provided in the background. The major challenge will thus be to artistically create solo and group music play, original dialogue, and nevertheless to find out new sonic possibilities, synaesthetic fascinating sounds in connection to harmonious multilayered cultural spheres. Let us give you just a few challenging clues: ‘Black-and-White Score’, ‘Coloured Score’, ‘Aliquot Inspiration’, ‘Sonic Landscapes’, ‘Sax-off-phone’, ‘Sax-of-phone’, ‘Cheer-ful-ness of the Sound’, ‘Dah-dih-duh’ and so on.”
