The aim of the project “Match&Fuse – international community of musicians” is to initiate the artistic exchange network of noncommercial
musicians from all around Europe. Exchange will be conducted by groups from Poland (Owls Are Not), UK (World Service Project), Italy
(Neo) and Norway (Synkoke) who will produce and perform together. It aims to form the audience and professional community in above
mentioned countries.
During the exchange we plan to run following activities:
– six collective concerts of Owls Are Not, World Service Project and Neo in Poland (16-22.05.2013) (module I);
– four collective concerts of Synkoke and Owls Are Not in Norway (12-17.06.2013) (module II);
– five collective concerts of Owls Are Not, World Service Project and Neo in UK (20-25.06.2013) (module III);
– four collective concerts of Owls Are Not, World Service Project and Neo in Italy (18-22.09.2013) (module IV);
– production and release of the collective record of Synkoke, Owls Are Not, World Service Project and Neo, consisting from mutual remix
works of each band and records from the concerts (05.2013 – 04.2014) (3 albums) (module V).
Concerts will take a shape of music dialogue, during which bands will also perform in a joint lineup. Each concert will consist from three parts
and gave a space for collective improvisations and musical exchange.
The idea of cultural exchange also implements the dialogue and exchange on the level of production technique. Members of Owls, WSP and
Neo remix the records of each other, which developes the idea of exchange at the level of music production. The effect will be released in
2014.

Ireland took part since 2011. Match&Fuse aim is to develope the network for the non-commercial artists from all around the Europe. Above
