The Sploh Institute is a private non-for-profit cultural organisation, established in 1999. Its founder 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 Golden Bird Award.



Programme

The Sploh Institute engages in music and theatre production, recording and education. It has produced projects for the music groups TILT, Alzheimer3 and CPG Impro, and has released three CDs (TILT Dvojnik and TILT by Tomaž Grom and Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec and Sonce in sončice po vsem svetu, a concert for children and families by various performers, based on poetry for children written by Tone Pavček). Sploh has also presented various concerts and workshops within the framework of Maximatika, which focused on creating sound textures and musical structures with the help of live digital sound processing. The workshop Search and Reflect, inspired by Eddie Prevost's didactic methods, is dedicated to musical improvisation, listening practices, and various modes of musical expression. Sploh has organised the stage performances Bruto, Before the Rain and Between Fruit and Flesh, and has co-operated with authors such as Tomaž Grom, Špela Trošt, Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec, Primož Čučnik, Ana Pepelnik, Marjan Stanič, Luka Zagoričnik, and Matjaž Manček.

Projects

In collaboration with Šerpa Literary Art Association, Sploh Institute has organised the Con-Fine Aperto concert series at Kodeljevo Castle and Klub Menza pri koritu.

Tomaž Grom has also toured and made appearances at several festivals and venues throughout Europe and Canada. Among others he has played with: Doug Hammond, Sonny Simmons, Zlatko Kaučič, Evan Tate, Drago Ivanuša, Dieb 13, Will Guthrie, Jean-Phillipe Gross, Ferran Fages, Nicolas Field, Elliott Sharp, Ignaz Schick, Sabine Vogel, Sebi Tramontana, Jessica Lurie, etc. Grom has created music for numerous theatrical, dance and puppet performances and produced the CD La passion de Jeanne d’Arc (solo double bass).
