CLASSICAL BEAT Festival Orchester & Big Band | EUROPEAN JAZZ COMPANIONS PROGRAM
The CLASSICAL BEAT Festival Orchester with its Big Band is a european orchestra of young professionals. It is born from the meeting of the Erasmus TEDMA partners Classical Beat Festival from Lübeck and SYL Productions, the structure of the French jazz artist and composer Pierre Bertrand.
The program called “European Jazz Companions” involves inside the same big band 3 great european musicians, specialists in big bands, and young musicians. The aim is that experienced musicians share their skills, their craft’s knowledge, with young professionals ending their studies in European Music Schools and Universities. Thus the program offers a first big band job to young professionals, in professional conditions. They are involved from start to finish in a musical creation, coached by great professionals.
The big band concert was accompanied by abstract nature landscapes at night to immerse the audience in a tropical atmosphere. Different color stimuli depending on the music were projected into the space and into specific selected plants which were placed around the forum. The audience was inside the performance and was empowered to hear, feel and see the performance from within and from the location, they chose to be in. Some musical peaces were followed by a magical dancer.

X-ARTS Topics
The Improvisation Machine
The impro.machine generates random numbers that serve as a starting point for improvisations. A very intuitive and playful collaboration between an age-old musical concept and the artificial intelligence of the 21st century. A jamming session was prepared to be presented on Friday, the 24th at 11 am in the St Petri Church where the main star was the Impro.machine.ten.

Differential Listening | Interactive Music Systems
This workshop explored working with interactive computer music systems programmed in the visual programming language Max/MSP. It will develop different approaches to program systems that can listen, react and interact with human musicians.
Machine listening and real-time audio analysis will be an important subject in order to engage human and machine as musical partners. The workshop aimed to engage students in programming and musical interactions. Students were expected to bring their own instruments and computers.

Immerisve Nature Scapes at Night
What does nature reveals a projected reality at night? How does nature change at night, how do plants behave and if they would make sound, how would their music sound?
In this workshop we used the darkness to project patterns and colors into the plants and then it was up to the students to find their perspectives and color arrangements to film in 360° with our cameras the nighty plants to tell in 3 minutes (or longer if needed) the story of nature at night.

Interdisciplinary investigations into artistic productions
Through guidance and framed assignment's we, in an open and collective process, collected and transformed data, explored and experimented with the substance, defined and developed a symbiotic and cross aesthetic/multimodal performative output which was presented for the display event in St.Petri Church on Friday March 24th.
