Comprovisation: A Journey on How to Shape My Compositions Within a Large Ensemble [Ester F. Mata - 2025-07-20 11:48]
(2025)
Ester F. Mata
Situated in the vast space between rigidly notated music and the realm of open improvisation, this research—embodied through a large ensemble for which I have written and conducted music—navigates the intersection of these two worlds in search of a sweet spot between fixed composition and creative spontaneity. Rather than treating the score as a static framework, the composition is approached as a living, evolving entity, where performers, conductor, and technology collaboratively shape the music in real-time. Throughout rehearsals and performances, musicians make interpretive choices, respond to cues from the conductor and their peers, and engage with interactive electronic elements, fostering an ongoing, dynamic dialogue. This process illuminates how variables such as individual interpretation, conductor influence, and rehearsal time can open new avenues for expression, allowing the written score to transcend its traditional boundaries. By embracing this fluidity and exchange, embodied through the term Comprovisation, the composition is continuously transformed, deepening the connection between musicians and the work, and unlocking new possibilities for artistic expression. Through some of my musical pieces as examples we will analyze how this experimental creative process was shaped.

music as an invitation - comments on experiences of online participatory concerts (a small handbook)
(2025)
Késia Decoté Rodrigues
This small handbook shares the learnings from participatory online concerts which were developed as part of the "music as an invitation" project.
Using the two concerts developed for the "music as an invitation" project as case studies, this book presents the basic steps on putting together participatory online concerts. It also brings up some discussion about some relevant points to be observed during those steps, drawing specifically from the experience in the "music as an invitation" project.
This handbook aims to contribute to other curious and adventurous artists and producers who are interested in exploring creative ways to share music with their audiences. By exploring participatory ideas in online concerts, here we thrive to do what music does best: bring people together.
The "music as an invitation" project was a Marie Słodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Research developed at the University of Bergen, funded by the European Union.
