NOISS (Norway–Iceland–Slovakia): New Musics for New Audiences is an audience development, capacity building and transnational mobility project promoting the values of creativity, artistic freedom and collaboration in contemporary avantgarde music. Through developing a collaborative approach to the production of innovative forms of music and sonic art, we want to create a community of change-makers able to respond to key critical, social and political challenges that our countries are now facing.
The project activities consist of:
- a jointly curated artistic programme of new collaborations, concerts and performances presented at the NEXT Festival of Advanced Music in Bratislava and in Spissky Hrhov, Oslo and Reykjavik,
- a public discourse programme linking music with relevant social and cultural topics, and
- activities supporting capacity building of the project partners and audience development in creative contemporary music.
Summary of bilateral results
Having the partners from donor countries brought together a diverse curatorial team knowing the specifics of their local improvised and experimental music scenes. This allowed us to prepare a unique artistic program featuring the artists from all involved countries and create the opportunities to collaborate and present their artworks in front of the new audiences. Through exchange of the partners rich experiences we were building the capacities of our team. The main results of bilateral collaboration are jointly curated events and artworks featuring the most innovative experimental musicians. We are planning to continue the curatorial cooperation, supporting the mobilities and collaboration of the artists and creating the space for creation and presentation of new and innovative artworks.
