Italian duo O-JANÀ, formed by electronic musician and pianist Alessandra Bossa and vocalist and electronic musician Ludovica Manzo, will be in residence at the University of Agder in Kristiansand from April 17 to 27, 2025. They will explore the dynamic relationship between improvisation, composition, and technology. Their work explores the fusion of impro and structured composition.

How does improvisation become a composed song?

“Composing a song through improvisation in an electroacoustic setting is a complex and exciting challenge. During the performance, we will explore new compositional strategies for improvisation, using everything that shapes our live electronics setup — including the potential of AI as a creative partner”
