LLif(t)

LLif(T) (formerly SCRATCH) is an ongoing concert/workshop series for improvised music which aims to encourage an open dialogue among audiences, musicians and artists, building dynamics that may not have formed organically otherwise.

 

The emphasis is very much on performance as art/action/event!

 

LLif(T) is dedicated to the practice of improvised music, contemporary composition and performance art.

Some of the past  events are documented below

​

Following a lengthy pandemic induced hiatus we proudly returned back in Feb 2023 with the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series of improvisation workshops.

​

LISTEN/PAINT/PLAY was a cross-disciplinary workshop exploring free improvisation through music & painting that explored how can sound be perceived and expressed through automatic drawing / painting and how these images can then be reinterpreted in sound?

​

Attendees responded to improvised music through the medium of drawing / painting, and then created improvised music from the images they  made.
