A musician's collective ? an artist's network ? a variable musical company ?
imuZZic is all that !

because it is opened to the sharing of experiments, to the new and fertile meetings
. Variable
because every project requires a complementarity of talents, to maintain at its highest level the requirement of coherence and artistic relevance

In it are added artistic residences, actions of sensitization, interventions in schools, master-classes.."  (Manuela Gimeno )

The imuZZic network support the creation of trans-disciplinary projects, cause the emergence of national and international musical networks, seek the passages and the division of information, explore not the borders but what there is between, work in the relation between the european improvised musics and the other cultures, practise a total musical fact rather than an unspecified form of aesthetic integrism...
