A musician's collective ? an artist's network ? a variable musical company ?
imuZZic is all that !
. A collective because it collects around aesthetics
jazz and improvised musics
. A network 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
Jazz and improvised musics have an
opening equal to the spirit of freedom which this artistic field
claims, we find in the imuZZic objectives, since its creation in 2000,
the echos of this characteristic: meetings between confirmed artists and
emergent artists, meetings between various musical styles, meetings between
different artistic disciplines (Visual arts, multimedia, poetry), human meetings
…
A fast review of the last 4 years
prove the creative vitality of this musician's network, the successful bet
of the curiosity and the support of the public in an artistic comment without
concession, the capacity of the collective to articulate local anchoring,
national and international brilliance.
Since 2004 : 5 creations were
born: "round about 68", "October", "The man with a movie camera", "Panics", "The mad Shepherds
of the rebellion"... 7 albums among which 5 were coproduced
by Cristal Records: "5 new dreams", "I.Overdrive trio", "Global Songs"; "Etats d'urgence"; "new
dreams nOw ! "... The various projects were presented in France and all around the world (Canada, Morocco, Greece, Rumania, Ukraine, Ireland,
Germany...). These concerts took place in very diverse contexts :
small places not only dedicated to concerts, jazz-clubs, theaters, international jazz
festivals... 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...
