Abstract

The audiovisual investigations carried out by us during the Covid-19 pandemic are intended to discuss the possibilities of creating free musical improvisation amidst the limitations brought by the instaured mass enclosure and the contingential aspects of poetic relations mediated by the internet and different audiovisual tools. With the development of this performative proposal, we investigated new ways of elaborating creation processes and proposed to share academic research, conducting ethnographies of our creative processes. From this search, the performative proposal presented here was created to be performed in deferred time, and denotes convergences and contrasts between improvisations performed in distinct spaces and times.
