The MMI Festival Barcelona 2019 aims to create enriching encounters between artists with a long trajectory in free improvising, like Agustí Fernández, and upcoming improvisers. The artists will come from Munich, Berlin, Madrid, Galicia and Valencia to meet with the local scene and freely improvise in multidisciplinary sets. The interaction of the musicians, who have mostly never played together, requires a high degree of sensitivity and skill level. The audience will hear new and exciting sounds on a wide range of instruments. Thus each concert becomes a unique experience - beyond all musical and cultural boundaries. Only individual musicians are invited to this MMI Festival, no existing formations. The musical sets are assembled by our musical curator, whether the individual musicians know each other or not, plays no role here. The festival offers the framework for spontaneous compositions, unique creations and very special listening experiences: Free improvised music is not only relative to the virtuosity of the musicians, the outcome is also connected with the ambience of the place and everyone in the room
