The IMO is a very large improvisors ensemble, founded in september 2010, It usually gather about 35 musicians per concert, from all switzerland and beyond.

From the, expected, mess of the first concerts emerged a collective consciousness and involvement from the impressive number of musicians included in this ambitious projet. After a year - and 7 concerts - 40 of them met during 3 day during the 2011 summer, marking a sensitive step in the orchestra progression. Working deeply a certain amount of pieces - concepts and conductions - appeared a new sound quality, a opening of the space, a fragility of the volume, a more electroacoustique, minimal, "concrète" direction. The orchestra started to think as an an emsemble, with multiple components but looking to project a unique/common sound, to look for details, restraint, variable densities, breathes, drones, subbasses...

The alternation of "free" and "conducted" improvisation was from the begining a manner to test various pathes of collective operation. If this first record - first archive - contain mainly conducted pieces it's because at one time they were crucial about etablishing a common background into the orchestra, it resulted a definitive strenght allowing us now to play autonomously with far much accuracy.

The IMO, whom will have done 16 concerts more at the end of its second season, became, beyond the manifest gathering, a solid group and a experience open on an exciting future.

B : Ode to Joy

Michaël Sellam, Ode to joy est une relecture extrême du concert "Ode à la Joie", dirigé par Léonard Bernstein qui célébrait la chute du mur de Berlin, le 24 décembre 1989. Équipé d’un joystick relié à un ordinateur, un semblant de musicien opère une série de détérioration de la bande sonore du mouvement final de la 9ème symphonie de Beethoven, proposant une version dénaturée de l’hymne officiel de l’Europe...

Musicien, poète et performeur, Joachim Montessuis est une figure majeure de la scène poétique expérimentale contemporaine.

Le livre est accompagné par une pièce sonore inédite sur cd. L’auteur Joachim Montessuis est né en 1972. Il est poète sonore et performeur. Il est actuellement l’artiste le plus représentatif de la poésie électronique. Il interroge depuis quinze ans les frontières entre poésie et son, mots et fréquences auditives.
