Start: 20:00

The WhereWhen Collective is a body working at the intersection of improvisation, composition, and performative practice. In shifting constellations, the collective brings together musicians and artists from the fields of jazz, new music, electroacoustics, and free improvisation.

Current members include: Nikola Vuković (trumpet), Tobias Meissl (vibraphone), Maiken Beer (cello), Olivia De Prato (violin), Victor Lowrie (viola), Kasho Chualan (piano/electronics), Christof Ressi (electronics), and Ivar Roban Križić (double bass/text).

What can a collective body do? Can it transcend the sum of its individual components? Can it turn a writhing, undulating mass of flesh, bone, and synapses into something entirely new? In preparing this performance we became a collective body, with a permeable membrane that allows entry, exchange, and constant renewal. By joining us here and now, you become part of our body—a new multi-functional limb sprouting at the periphery, in constant exchange with every other element of the structure. Can you sense the whole from where you are? Can you sense the process of integration? How does it feel to be a collective body?

The project is supported by a composition stipend from the City of Vienna (MA-7) and by the SKE Fonds.
