An evening of musical exploration and discovery featuring Antoine Prum’s new documentary Blue for a Moment, a portrait of the Berlin-based Swedish avant-garde composer, musician, poet and visual artist Sven-Åke Johansson, followed by a series of live performances with Alexander von Schlippenbach, Rüdiger Carl and Barcelona Series.
Ni-Vu-Ni-Connu is releasing a hand-signed collector's box (ed. of 250) with 7 recordings illustrating the extraordinary musical scope of Sven-Åke Johansson, one of the major figures on the European free improvisation scene. Johansson's stubborn refusal to be categorised into any musical genre has enabled him to work with successive waves of musicians and help shape the musical landscape of Berlin and beyond.

Taking the Dog for a Walk maps the scene of British Improvised Music, past and present. Alternating with extended music sequences, the conversations led by stand up comedian Stewart Lee gravitate around the idiosyncrasies of improvisation, from playing in front of the proverbial ‘four men and a dog’ to pursuing a career in a milieu where success is not measured by mainstream criteria.
