SONUS LIBER: FREE IMPROVISATION AND CREATIVE MUSIC CONCERT SERIES

          Interest in free improvisation and experimental, creativ music has allowed Santi Mabad to share a fundamental part of his artistic language with audiences, rounding out his musical identity through collaborations with artists such as Agustín Fernández, Markus Breuss, Javier Carmona, Josep Lluis Galiana, Roberto Bellatalla, Kamil Korolczuk, Javier Paxariño, Márcio Mattos, Mark Hewins, Antonio L. Guillén, Paulina Owczarek, Alejandro Rojas-Marcos, Alfred 23 Harth, Don Malfon, the FCME (Frigiliana Creative Music Ensemble), the CIM.CS (Col.lectiu d’improvisació Musical de Castelló), and the FISH group, among others.

 

          Free musical improvisation is distinguished by being “non-idiomatic”: it does not adhere to a pre-established language; instead, each performer contributes their own. Unique soundscapes emerge from this fusion. This creative drive led to the creation of SONUS LIBER, a concert series dedicated to improvised and creative music, designed to energize cultural activity in the province of Málaga and foster connections with other disciplines such as visual arts, poetry, dance, and performance art.

​

 

          This concert series is an encounter with sonic freedom, hosted at the Tr3s Puertas art space in Torre del Mar (Málaga). It features a diverse group of musicians and sound artists with extensive experience in fields ranging from contemporary music, avant-garde jazz, ambient music, the Canterbury scene, and British jazz to traditional music (such as Indian music), abstract expression, and soundtrack composition. Their instrumental universe is as vast as it is eclectic, making every concert a unique experience in which the venue and the audience become living parts of the sound itself.
