This is the announcement of a new music project called ‘Little Movements Composition and Improvisation Challenge.’ The aim is to provide all musicians, composers and players, around the world, with an opportunity to be connected to each other and to have a stage for displaying their skills and art. Social media, specifically Instagram, have enabled many to voice their thoughts and display their art, skills and talents.
We strongly believe that more aesthetically profound music should also be available that might ultimately make some of the audiences interested in more serious works of art.
To take part in this challenge the artist is required to record one-minute composed or improvised pieces, which could be for either a solo instrument or an ensemble. It is also necessary that the hashtag #LMCIC be mentioned in the caption. Eventually, some of the videos will be selected and shared on the @LittleMovementsChallenge page with the artist’s consent.
