The idea has taken shape over nearly ten years of experience in free improvisation and musical wanderings around South America and Europe.

A prototype route to be followed in a borderless world, the ReMoTelmPLov project brings into focus the multiple connections and possibilities for dialogue between supposedly distant artistic languages.

Each guest composer was given the task of submitting a totally improvised solo piece, the only restriction being the maximum lenght dictated. No reference was given, unless the information that in the final composition the pieces would overlap randomly.
