CAB - Composition, Arrangement, Bandleading

CAB is an intensive project exploring the GENERATIVE MUSICIAN and the CO-CREATIONAL MUSICAL PROCESS.

Students and teachers from three countries gather together to explore the roles of an ARTIST and MUSICIAN: 

THE ARTIST 
THE MUSICIAN contributing with his or her own musicality and interpreting the material the artist brings.  

The teams work with the student's original material in the band rooms. On top of that everybody explore the "songwriting-process" going deep into writing hook-lines, creating bass-lines, sharing ideas, writing stories, flow-writing, essence-writing and making chord progressions. Some of the song-writing-material is brought into the band-rooms and finalized into beautiful songs in beautiful arrangements.

The first session of the project took place in Oulu in November 2015, the second and third sessions in Aalborg in April 2017 and April 2018
