A regular meeting place for people to improvise sound and music together and try out various exercises, games, examples and experiments. And to just play freely. And most of all, to listen.
SVAMP was a long-running series of open sound/music improvisation workshops that have taken place in Helsinki (and Tallinn) sporadically for years. They have been organised by various entities, most recently by Äänen Lumo, and often featured a guest musician leading the group through exercises.
At Temporary, we will continue the SVAMP name (I guess) and organise a regular gathering to bring together musicians (and non-musicians) interested in group collaboration. Each session can be facilitated by someone different (if desired) who can introduce a structure (if they desire).
Please bring an instrument or something to make sound with. As Temporary doesn't have any amplification, you will need to bring your own, but please keep in mind volume issues and that you will be playing with others (ie: keep it electro-acoustic, if possible).
SVAMP is organised in collaboration with Äänen Lumo.
This experiment is not active.
There has been no activity towards this experiment during the past over 6 years. The experiment is assumed to be completed or abandoned.

Hi everyone,
Greetings. As John said, I can't come this time around, but it's nice to see this thing taking shape again. In June, I would prefer the week before Midsummer, 19th to 23th of June.
Hi everyone, I will be attending when I can, the problem is, during the weekdays/office time I am usually busy. Anyhow, I promised to Lauri that I could bring some thoughts/exercises later this summer to experiment with you. Hoping to play with you soon!
Yeah I think Saturdays work best, most people are busy working or doing something like work.
