CRI ORCHESTRA - In My Next Life I Want to Be a Feedback - LP

;

In my Next Life I Want to Be a Feedback is a call to open-minded listening, as well as the title of the first, live-recorded LP by the Croatian Improvisers Orchestra (abbr. CRIO). Working in the inspirational spaces of Društveni centar Rojc in the city of Pula, this collective bases its musical output on experimental, conceptual and gameplay composition, leaning on multidisciplinary artistic practices such as Conduction and Soundpainting (devised by Lawrence Butch Morris and Walter Thompson, respectively). CRIO comprises some of the most distinguished individuals in the field of improvised, experimental, contemporary, and post-genre music, who, either as musicians, authors, and performance artists of different affinities, or as initiators of various platforms and organisations, as well as ensemble leaders, actively participate in weaving a new, defining tissue of the most exciting aspect of contemporary musical and cultural development both within and beyond the borders of Croatia. The ensemble recorded their performance in Gorgona Hall as part of the 32nd Music Biennale Zagreb. The performance, which has also been broadcast on Croatian national television, offers one of the many sonic reflections of their stylistically heterogeneous creative and multifacetedly important artistic work.
