From the 84 Days

In March 2020 25 young musicians from the Bolivian Experimental Orchestra for Indigenous Instruments (OEIN) came to Germany to play concerts in Berlin and Dresden. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the concerts were canceled, then Bolivia shut down its borders and the musicians were stuck in the Music Academy in Rheinsberg Brandenburg for almost three months. Together with their german colleagues of the ensembles PHØNIX16 and noiserkroiser, they face the crisis developing several musical projects, a big part of them using improvisations in contemporary music. By leaving the stage mainly to the musicians and their performance, the camera becomes part of the improvisation, also opening up the question of how music can be filmed.
