The TIN Festival is an a cappella festival for vocal improvisation with concerts, workshops and open stages. It takes place every two years in Düsseldorf and is organized by DIVA (Düsseldorfer Impro Voices Association, member of CV Düsseldorf). Initiator, director and artistic head of the festival is the Düsseldorf musician Barbara Beckmann.
Vocal improvisation?
In vocal improvisation, a group of singers creates vocal music without exact instructions from a score. In the center of this free form of singing together are the voices, the individual musical ideas and the interaction of all. Typical for the melody in choral improvisation is the use of patterns or loops, which are repetitions of a musical pattern. Vocal improvisation is music from the moment and for the moment. Masters of improvisation are usually hardly aware that they are improvising. Among the artists who have left their mark on vocal improvisation are Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon and Roger Treece.
Greeting from the patron Markus Stockhausen
"In times of inner alienation and outer overload, the TIN Festival offers a great experiential space for all those who want to invite the power of the now, the quality of KAIROS into their lives. What medium could do this better than music, what style of playing better than improvisation, and what instrument more authentic and immediate than the voice?
Improvisation has always been an essential part of making music. At this year's TIN Festival, the consideration also leads into broader areas of life: Where am I creative and flexible at work, how does successful communication proceed in turbulent everyday life, and to what extent can I learn spontaneity and self-confidence?
The human voice is the direct seismograph of our inner state. Translated into tones, sound, sound, the TIN Festival offers the most diverse spaces of togetherness and direct experience.
Take part in concerts with "a capella" vocal ensembles and in workshops, let yourself be inspired, join in. Welcome to this year's TIN Festival!"
