Poma#1 music for electric guitar, sunday 7 august 2011, 19.30h
Poma is a project born from the idea of using free improvisation within a
composed context. Thus, the musicians immerse themselves in improvisation
which occurs within pre-established structures, or along previously defined
musical pathways,or even together with previously composed music; the essential
principle being to set as few restrictions as possible on the performers.
