On Monday 11th August
7pm–10pm
at Copper Leg Art Residency
Discomfort Dispatch
In August 2024, Francesco Zedde spent two weeks at Copper Leg Art Residency, getting familiar with the residency and the Estonian experimental sound art and music scene, mostly based in Tallinn. During that time, he explored possibilities for realizing his project Discomfort Dispatch in the local context.
Zedde is now back at Copper Leg, making music and organizing a new edition of Discomfort Dispatch, which will unfold across three locations: Copper Leg Art Residency, IDA Radio, and Cabaret Volta.
Discomfort Dispatch is a series of experimental and improvised music events that celebrate collaboration and innovation in sound. It is a transnational and decentralized collective focused on experimental and improvised music. The event will feature collaborations with some of Tallinn’s most innovative musicians, including Mia-Stella Aaslaid, Erik Alalooga, Mark Rennie, Villem Jahu, Maarja Nuut, and Hello Upan. These collaborations will explore new approaches to sound, push creative boundaries, and contribute to Estonia’s dynamic experimental and improvised music community.
