SVAMP has been 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.

Temporary would be a fantastic venue for musical improvisation. Why don't we get these going again? Or maybe they don't have to be called SVAMP, we can let that name die. Or we can keep it. It doesn't matter. These can still be organised by/with Äänen Lumo or they don't have to be. It doesn't matter. They can still be led by guest musicians or not. It doesn't matter.

The point is, let's have 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.

To increase communication between improvising artists, musicians and soundies

To make some stuff at Temporary and not just talk so much about making stuff

To play and enjoy the beauty of sound created by groups

Monthly?

Anyone - musicians and non-musicians must feel equally welcome here, or I quit
