The FOR:M
Founded in Berlin in 2022 by artist-composer Grgur Savić, The F O R : M is an ensemble dedicated to experimental music, graphic notation, and interdisciplinary performance. The project investigates relationships between compositional structure, improvisation, and real-time interaction through unconventional notation systems, digital musical graphics, live electronics, and projected visual scores.
Operating within an electroacoustic environment, The F O R : M brings together musicians from diverse artistic backgrounds to explore open forms of collective performance. Positioned between contemporary composition, Echtzeitmusik, chamber improvisation, and sound art, the ensemble treats notation as a dynamic performative framework rather than a fixed set of instructions.
As an evolving platform, The F O R : M regularly incorporates guest artists and interdisciplinary collaborators, creating site-specific and context-responsive performances that emphasize experimentation, listening, and shared authorship.
