Sploh Institute is a non-for-profit cultural organisation, established in 1999, which engages in music and theatre performing arts production, music publishing, and education. Its founder and director is improvising musician and composer Tomaž Grom, who dedicates much time to exploring expanded techniques for playing the contrabass in combination with electronics. In the year 2007 he received the Golden Bird Award. Sploh produces projects for the music groups TILT, Alzheimer3 and CPG Impro.

Alzheimer3 continues to gain in success and validation in the field of modern sound currents, not just in Slovenia, but also internationally. Several renowned guest appearances at international festivals and centres and dedicated to electro-acoustic sound experimentation substantiate this: Zentrale Randlage/Berlin, Club 5/Wiener Festwochen/Vienna, NEXT/Bratislava, Stanica/Žilina, Slovakia, Ritz/Vienna, Hybrida/Tarcento, ULTRAHANG/Budapest and NM festival/Graz (in collaboration with Aksioma Institute).

Workshops

Sploh presents various concerts and workshops within the framework of its project Maximatika, which focuses on creating sound textures and musical structures with the help of live digital sound processing. The latest of these explorations was presented in March 2010 at Stara Elektrarna - Old Power Station in the context of the Sostenuto project. Entitled Forgotten, Overlooked [Pozabljeno, prezrto] the project involved a group of children, a group of pensioners, Grega Zorc, Alja Kapun, Luka Juhart, Tomaž Grom.


The on-going workshop series Search and Reflect, inspired by English percussionist Eddie Prévost's didactic methods, is dedicated to musical improvisation, listening practices, and various modes of musical expression.
