Improvised Dreams explores the inner logic of dreams and the multiplicity of meanings embedded within dream imagery. Seven musicians from diverse musical traditions come together through improvisation, drawing on shared dream experiences and the sounds heard within dreams as their common material.
In this concert, dreams and the liminal space of dreams becoming a starting point for the musical creation, and simultaneously the musical improvisation guides the formation of new narratives and ways to embody and connect with dreams.
The practice of sharing dreams lies at the heart of the musicians’ bond and it has shaped both their artistic connection and their ongoing research into sonic materials.
Earth Dreams refers to dreams as a shared, global phenomenon. Dreams are experienced everywhere, across cultures and interpretations, yet there is something shared in how they are felt. When reflected on together, new layers can continue to emerge.
Similarly, sound is heard and interpreted differently across contexts and traditions.
From this starting point, musicians come together in improvisation, bringing with them their own ways of hearing, perceiving, and making meaning of sound.
This concert it's also part of the process of exploration for *Re-dreaming*: the third artistic component of cellist Iida-Vilhelmiina Sinivalo’s doctoral degree, that will focus on dreams, meaning-making, and different modes of listening.
"To listen to a dream like music,
music like a dream.
To let meanings wander,
to dream again."
"Kuunnella unta kuin musiikkia,
musiikkia kuin unta.
Antaa merkitysten vaeltaa,
uneksia uudelleen."
The event is FREE OF CHARGE, with donations welcomed to support the Toinen Kerros space!
Event supported by the City of Helsinki
