Yesterday (Dec 31th) the first session of the workshop went on. 9 of Rasht`s selected musicians and artists participated in it (There were others invited who couldn't make it for any reason). There were some discourses about the Improvisation sessions that we had in London and the performance itself. Also there were a lot of talks about the ideas and theories that are going on in the music, The avant-garde form of music, and the technics and forms in the contemporary music and for sure Sound art.
We also had some improvisations after the session which was completely different (fortunately) comparing to the ones we had before, based on the talks we had.
Also one of the major points of the session was the talks about the collaborating spirit and support in the musicians community that we have in here. There were a lot to talk about, Inspiring events and people and also the experiences that I had in London, and all of those helped us to start something new which could build some platform for the artists to present their artworks.
We even thought about starting a label, promoting it by social networks and other stuff in the future.
Today we had another one which was not as crowded as it was in yesterday. But considering that some of the people who are participating are not only musicians and are studying some philosophical issues beside their artistic activities, the discourses were so useful to build up a new perspective to the music and sound art so It will affect on the practical form of the music that we shall create in future.
