Improvising Across Boundaries

This survey represents an essential opportunity to produce a significant body of evidence, available to all. Ensure that your voice is heard by filling in this survey by the 5th of October!

The reports will offer all those involved in improvised music valuable evidence for funding applications, lobbying policymakers, or instigating conversations with key gatekeepers or organisations.

The findings from this survey will be made available through Open Access reports (to be published online in 2027) and recommendations for the continued development of improvised music scenes in Ireland.

We have launched an anonymous Ireland-wide musician survey for all improvising musicians/sound artists from all musical genres/traditions/scenes.
