Why do we distribute this music for free ?

We believe that the true essence of music arises when improvising, because then the musicians are living in the present. Spontaneous improvisation is even more rare and happens when people meet each other for the first time through the music.

We decided to record and distribute freely this particular kind of music in order to influence positively any musician that will listen to it and to follow the movement of free music, deprived from production and distribution companies and free of charge.
