Philosophy
We not only enjoy working together as artists, we also think and discuss intensively about what we do. What you find on this part of our website is the (interim) result of these processes.
The project which finally 'found' itself as "FREE FORMS OF ARTS" or finally defined itself as such, was based on several needs or circumstances:
Open dialogue, free forms and a mobile network
I) Definition as finding
In the middle of the 20th century there was still a fictitious division into classical music in the broadest sense, folk music, jazz, pop/rock, then these definitions vanished into thin air at the end of the last century, this also applied to the term improvisation.
II) Mobility / network
Avant-garde, especially free, freely improvising, instant-composing music has never been commercial (and this also applies to other art genres, the visual arts, dance, etc.). the smaller number of paid concerts, the lower fees, i.e. the lack of financial means, make it more difficult for artists to be mobile, to break free from the gravity of everyday life.
III) Open dialogue
The vitality of art arises from open and free dialogue, unconstrained communication and the resulting self-reflection; this leads to new flowing relationships, relations, communications that interact on the basis of good experiences/tradition.
FREE THE MOULDS the free-forming ones.
by Emil Gross
A temporal and emotional and intellectual free space
Our meetings, festivals, concerts, dance evening sessions challenge all participants to “take full risks”.
A holistic perception – free access – found language
An open dialogue requires a holistic perception of others and of the space, mutual acceptance and tolerance both as artists and as human beings.
Nothing is fixed – the process
We invite everyone to this “risky” procedure in which we develop free forms in order to liberate them in turn.
Free Forms – an adventure
The FREE FORMS of music are the adventure within the music including the audience.
Comprehensive self-reflection
A collective without direction, whereby every now and then an artist places an idea, him/herself at the centre, takes the reins, radiates authority and sets direct impulses.
A profound and multi-layered discourse
Since the artists involved are virtuosos, a profound and multi-layered discourse is possible. A creative interaction that goes far beyond the musical/dance level.
Musicians from the most diverse genres
This way of making music captivates artists who feel at home in the most diverse genres: jazz, rock, classical music, reggae, underground, world music, blues, free jazz, electronic, hiphop etc.
It is always about the process
Above all, we believe that it is not about an absolute, about a state that can be nailed down, not about a measurable unity – it is always about the process!
Relative in the infinity of spaces and times
Let themselves flow; or want to come into flow, whether they are in being or want to move there.
Free forms – an adventure
The essence of holiness expressed is within improvisation
The essence of holiness
Chanda Rules: For me the essence of holiness expressed is within improvisation.
Why I want to do this project with Chanda
It is experience that has led me to approach free improvisation in its various forms more and more. On the one hand, it’s about getting rid of the fear of selling yourself artistically on stage …
Open dialogues
why have a conversation whose outcome is certain? Why talk about the same topics over and over again when the content is inexhaustible?
What is an what will be
A Manifestation of creativity
Every “act” by the artists of the free forms – every concert, dance, evening, reading – is a manifestation of creativity, artistic existence, comprehensive know-how and also of their philosophy of life.
A musical “style”?
A musical “style” that increasingly stood out from all types of jazz, free jazz, new improvisation music, fluxus movement, soundpainting, became increasingly popular and evaporated into the art scene.
Contrary to the current movement
The free play has become multidimensional more complex and more holistic. Exactly contrary to the current movement of consumer-orientated one dimensionality… “Mono-culture”!
