Musicians collective ? Artists' network ? Variable musical company ?
imuZZic is all that !

artistic relevance

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
