The .abeceda Institute was founded in 2019 as a platform for research and performance in the field of contemporary experimental and improvised music. It is headed by Dré A. Hočevar, a Slovenian percussionist, composer and music theorist based in Amsterdam. The institute is also incorporated in the Netherlands as Stichting .alfabet and is the successor institute to Zavod Ape.Parlour (2011–2020).


Concept

In its own words, the institute's activities are aimed at combining the potentials of contemporary artistic and social practice to generate a new creative space between the fields of artistic practice, theory and research. As such, it is designed to attract young musicians into a research environment into which they can feed their own individual and collective work, to generate infrastructural models capable of fostering self-reflection and performance. One such model is that of the artist-in-residence.

The institution's work centres on four areas: education, publication, composition and performance.

Education

centre for research in .meta] je mednarodna platforma za izobraževanje, v sklopu katere tedensko potekajo skupinska predavanja in individualne ure, namenjene mladim glasbenikom, skladateljem in interdisciplinarnim umetnikom. Vodi jih Dré A. Hočevar

Moderated by Hočevar and supported by the Slovenian Embassy in The Hague, precept.concept.percept is an international interactive and virtual workshop, part of the institute's centre for research in .meta programme, that aims to produce new infrastructural frameworks via solo compositions submitted by the participants. These compositions are then documented and performed by members of .abeceda new music ensemble, among others.

Composition

The ensemble is a creative unit, led by an artist-in-residence, that meets virtually to develop compositions through a series of 'monthly transactions', the first of these being Hočevar's Σ [ ] _ composition for .meta (2020). The composer-in-residence for 2020 was Neža Zupanc.

Performance

Mladi raziskovalci (Young Researchers) is a cycle of residencies and concerts aimed at bringing a selected young musician into a professional performance and research infrastructure. The artist-in-residence in 2020 was guitarist and multimedia artist Tobija Hudnik. Forum is a continuation of the Young Researchers programme and provides infrastructural support to the development and performance of the artist-in-residence, who in 2020 was double-bassist and composer Gašper Livk.

The Studio 8.1 concert cycle is a musician-led platform, curated in 2020 by saxophonist Brina Kren, for the performance of new work, and also provides a space in which the .abeceda community as a whole can gather.


Publication

Verso Doxa is the institute's weekly publication of texts on art theory, critical reflection and philosophy.
