Porous Practices II
Lectures & Gathering
Lectures and gathering.
Porous Practices II continues the two-part gathering centred on listening, exchange and artistic practice. Presented as part of the Austrian edition of Adventurous Music Plateaux (AMP), organised by Sonic Territories Festival, it brings together local and international artists to share insights into their artistic approaches and to explore connections among composition, improvisation, electronics and experimental sound, with a strong focus on digital tools and the digital realm.
Adventurous Music Plateaux (AMP) is a European hybrid platform dedicated to showcasing music across Europe and fostering collaboration among jazz, improvisational and electronic musicians. Across 2025 and 2026, AMP comprises 16 multi-day editions in 7 European countries, organised by a consortium of 8 partners. Within the project scope, each partner is responsible for organising two AMP editions domestically, with Austrian activities organised by id/l as part of the Sonic Territories Festival.
Each edition combines open workshops and improvised concerts, held live and recorded as 360 VR spatial videos that are published online and made publicly available, thereby extending access to the project beyond the physical event and using digital tools as educational and promotional resources. During the 2026 edition, an on-site presentation/VR exhibition of previously recorded concerts and workshops completes the project's multidimensional scope. Through these activities, AMP supports knowledge exchange, professional development, international collaboration and music export.
The project “Adventurous Music Plateaux – a hybrid model of inclusive participation, learning, and music export development through the use of digital tools and recordings (360 VR)” [101174530 — AMP — CREA-CULT-2024-COOP] is co-funded by the European Union.

- Kasho Chualan — No Filter: Sound, Improvisation and Spontaneous CompositionKasho Chualan explores improvisation, spontaneous composition and sound manipulation through instruments, everyday objects, recordings and samples. She considers how political and emotional experiences can become musical material, and how a basic compositional structure can leave room for spontaneity. Through examples, demonstration and live improvisation, she examines the relationship between sound, emotion, political sensitivity and the freedom to experiment.LECTURE
