TransyMusic  :::: December 2007

Artists, crew, babysitters, chefs and fellow campers: Ergo Phizmiz, Margita Zalite, Martha Moopette, Baiba Lange, Talulah & Autumn babies, Mihai Sorohan, Rudy Moca, Asterix, Anamaria Galea, Sebastian Tatar, Spoonman, Julie Upmeyer, Ana Nicoara, Demeter Panna Katalin and Iuliana Varodi.

Daily improvisations by the participating artists and edited by Ergo are not here anymore, Martha's amazing video work is here and may be somewhere else as well, while Julie's observations are still here. The first audio made sounds like this: http://www.morisena.org/images/Transymusic.mp3

International and local musicians took part in a collaborative process for the creation of contemporary music inspired by Transylvanian vibes. Whatever they came across and made sounds they used as instruments.  Ancient local songs (live and recorded) from local Romanian, Hungarian and Gipsy cultures were regularly presented as inspiration for the abroad participants.




In what was an exploratory and experimental process, the artists were busy improvising, composing, recording and experiencing the local culture, bringing diverse elements together and creating dialogues culminating a body of work with a number of outlets, including a concert and a limited edition CD. As a way of creating connections between our projects and participating artists, we may use the TransyMusic for our next TransyNoMode project.




At morisena we enjoyed palinca, home made wine and delicious zacusca, jams and more, all our own production with fruits and veggies coming mainly from our biologic garden and the local markets. Participants brought delcious snacks and drinks from their own country to be shared with  the  group. A concert was held in Targu Mures at Teatrul Ariel on December 19th. and the evening ended with a live performance at G Pont in Targu Mures.
