Description
The project will contribute to the development of music criticism focused on the alternative or independent music scene and strengthen its inspirational and motivational role reflecting in creators of this culture - artists, bands, but also organizers, clubs, other music professionals and journalists and the public. The aim of the professionalization of the editorial board of the AlterEcho platform will be to regularly and effectively cover music events - especially its non-traditional form, and to seek ways of understanding contemporary music art. Essentially related to this is the offering of space for discussion both in the online environment and in the comfortable space of a community center or club where a personal meeting takes place.
In one year we will double the volume of published texts, focusing more on authorial journalism like interviews and reports, commentaries and articles reflecting young Czech (or Slovak) production. We will organize a total of six events with the Brno partner institutions within the project. Three workshops of electronic music for children aged 8-15 will be organized with the autonomous, cultural and social center Sibiř. We will also cooperate with the independent club Bajkazyl Brno at the music and discussion evening HLUK (“Noise”), where music critics, organizers and other guests - especially from the independent scene - will meet to share experiences together and with the public. There will be a music program under the curatorship of the AlterEcho platform as well.
