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
The overarching educational programme at .abeceda is the centre for research in .meta, which includes weekly lectures and one-to-one consultations led by Hočevar and aimed at young musicians and composers.
Moderated by Hočevar and supported by the Slovenian Embassy in The Hague, precept.concept.percept is an international interactive and virtual workshop that aims to produce new infrastructural frameworks via solo compositions submitted by participants. These compositions are then documented and performed by members of the institute's chamber ensemble, among others.
Composition
The .abeceda new music ensemble is a creative unit, led by an artist-in-residence, that meets virtually to develop compositions, the first of which was 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. It sprang out of the accompanying programme of the Jazz Cerkno festival in 2018. 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 for the performance of new work, and also provides a space in which the .abeceda community as a whole can gather. It was curated in 2020 by saxophonist Brina Kren.
Publication
Verso Doxa is the institute's weekly publication of texts on art theory, critical reflection and philosophy.
Festivals
Despite the disruption to cultural life occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, some performances of .abeceda-affiliated work was possible in 2020, most notably at the 2020 Ljubljana Jazz Festival, which presented three concerts in its Alphabet series: Gaj Bostič (Eris), Brina Kren (Rišem si bogove) and Young Researchers alumnus Tobija Hudnik. Hudnik also presented his Equilibrium as insta_bility project (the name of the ensemble as well as that of their its album, released in 2020 by PureZen Records and Live at Jazz Cerkno) as part of the 2020 A dela? (Is It Working?) festival, organised by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory and held at Cirkulacija 2.
