The Vienna Improvisers Orchestra creates its Instant Compositions exclusively and absolutely<\/em> ad hoc with the consistent praxis of Instant Composition Conducting<\/em>, which has been developed by VIO’s art. dir. and conductor Michael Fischer over the last two decades, based on Butch Morris’ method Conduction<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The parameters for Instant Composition Conducting<\/em> are:
\n1. absolute<\/em> ad hoc creation – on the part of the ensemble as well as the conductor, no prepared or agreed modules\/designs,
\n2. no rehearsals, only a short try-out of the hand-signs (for basics like dynamics, pitch, go, stop, solo, remember, loop) before the concert starts,
\n3. the ensemble consists usually of a string section on one third,
\n4. the musicians are staged by instrumental groups,
\n5. the ca. 20 hand-signs are used sparingly,
\n6. the instant compositions unfold narrative textures,
\n7. create space for 35 – 50 minutes,
\n8. each concert features a new ensemble constellation and usually involves at least one new musician.<\/p>\n

Founded by Michael Fischer in 2004, the VIO has performed at the Moers-Festival, Wien Modern, the Porgy&Bess, central venues of the visual arts a.m.o.. The VIO is one of the earliest and continuously working improvisation orchestras worldwide. – A recording of the VIO’s concert at the Moers Festival 2022 will be released on Vinyl in spring 2025!<\/p>\n

Concert: March 7th 2025, Westbahnstudios, 1150 Wien<\/strong><\/p>\n
