Click Online exploring free improvisation in duos - April May 2024

Session design: This series that is called Click! is an online, telematic project hosted by zoom. It is managed by Phil Morton under the lable: centrifuge
Numerically there will be between 6 and twelve participants in the session. The participants are experienced in the genre known as free improvised music.

 

Introduction

Taking advantage of `zoom breakout room` the session will proceed as a series of duos. Each duo is in a `breakout room` that is a separate online space. There is no audience.

The proposed duration of each duo is 6-8 minutes. If there are 12 participants there will be a number of duos in different `break out` rooms happening at the same time. After each duo the participants change partners either by design or randomly, then another duo takes place. This repeats until the session ends.

The participants may be strangers, or neighbours.

Session content: Four or more duos per session. Lasting between 4-8 minutes.
Target number of participants: 12, minimum number 6
Genre: free improvisation (music)
Criteria: In the absence of shared criteria regarding free improvisation this project starts with the following: Improvisers who have experience of free improvisation over an extended period of time, and who have a level of composure and competency. There is no audition. It is not an open door policy.
Recruitment: The starting point is the Centrifuge & System 5050 contact list: and an online open call.

Launch: The Click sessions started in November 2020.
Dates & times to be decided by the participants.
Frequency: Every two weeks on a Friday. "Click Extra" sessions happen, when required or desired.

Proposed by: Phil Morton
Promoter: Centrifuge
Online host: Zoom.
Online presence: Improvisers networks online website.

Fee for participation. The trial period is free. A fee of £3.00 per month may be introduced at a later date.

The speculation: that the downside of zoom, as an online experience is the potential disappointment of the sound quality or zoom's inability to manage multiple instrumental `voices` . The speculation is that this minimized when the content is a duo. There is only one feed of one instrumental voice into one’s location.
