-Unearthing The Music is a project that addresses the issue of freedom of expression - particularly in music - in the countries under the 'iron curtain', namely following the developments in those societies after 'de-stalinization' and the Hungarian and Polish revolts of 1956, leading up to the ´Prague Spring' and the following 'stagnation years' up until the fall of totalitarian regimes in the eastern bloc.
+UNEARTHING THE MUSIC is a collaborative project that unites five organizations from five different european countries, all actively interested in the history and in the stories surrounding experimental music in Europe, particularly in countries and regimes where the conditions for creative freedom were hardly met throughout the second part of the 20th century.
-In the European countries that were subjected to the decade-long socialist regimes, jazz, electronics and avant-garde music acquired the aureole of martyrdom, the symbolism of underground resistance and of a quest towards democracy. The establishment of a 'second culture', one of unofficial music and art had an important role in the everyday life of these societies, but it still did not fully escape control. As a result, a great deal of this unofficial music remains undocumented, unspread, and deprived of context and signification in the larger history of European vanguard music, its influence in present-day creative scenes unknown.
+We aim to shed a new light on creative and forward-thinking music made under non-democratic regimes in the later half of the 20th century in Europe (building upon a previous version of the project funded by the Europe for Citizens programme), tackling fundamental European values such as freedom of expression and of movement (both of people and ideas / artistic works), in a time when roughly half of what is now the EU and the whole European continent was bereft of such basic rights, putting in the spotlight shared historical experiences through the re-visitation of important artistic and cultural legacies.
-By gathering music, videos, articles, testimonies, opinions and investigative studies on an online resource center, as well as promoting awareness and discussion over this issue, we aim to contribute to understanding to what extent and how it was possible, over the diverse regime grips on the arts in the different countries of the eastern bloc, to live in a creative mindset, to develop self expression through innovative music-making, and to contribute to such an European Identity staple as is its creative, adventurous and genre-bending music happening right now.
+The project focuses on cooperation between different types of cultural organizations and individuals throughout Europe, with the aim of exploring, documenting, disseminating, interpreting and highlighting the significance and importance of a yet under-appreciated aspect of European cultural heritage, while at the same time establishing a dialogue between that legacy and contemporary artistic and social aspects that will foster new creations and new reflections.
