Opposite to what one might expect, it is not at all self-evident that musicians and composers engage in a dialogue about the piece they write and perform. On the contrary, it has always been very unusual for them to do so. This, however, is changing: more and more the idea of collaborative creation is taking hold.
This film shows an example of how this change is coming about. It was filmed during the “Musicians Meet Composers I-Lab”, from 29-31 October 2007 at the Walter Maas Huis, a co-production of Insomnio and the WMH. In this lab fourteen musicians and eight composers worked in changing combinations on new pieces of music, meanwhile reflecting on the collaboration, communication and division of roles between musicians and composers. Four external observers reflected on the creative process.
