On May 7 and 8, Saint Louis is hosting CreaTeME International in its Milan and Rome venues.
A not-to-be-missed event that brings CreaTeME International, the international format dedicated to live sampling and live remixing that aims to integrate electronic instruments into any sound context, to the Saint Louis venues of Milan and Rome for the first time.
CreaTeME International is a project of the Center of Excellence for the Creative Use of Technology in Music Education, developed at the Department of Popular Music of the Faculty of Arts,Agder University, Norway. The goal of the project is to train the musicians of the future by fostering the exchange of knowledge and best practices among institutions internationally.
For the 2026 European tour, CreaTeME International brings three internationally relevant artists to St. Louis:
- Jan Bang, Professor and Artistic Director of the project, a leading figure in live sampling and live remix in ensemble format, co-artistic director of the PUNKT Festival and collaborator with Brian Eno, Sidsel Endresen, Hamid Drake and the late Jon Hassell.
- Eivind Aarset, Norwegian guitarist and composer, known for his ability to blend electronic textures into immersive soundscapes, transforming the guitar into an instrument for exploration beyond genre boundaries.
- Hamid Drake, a world-renowned percussionist who brings with him a refined rhythmic approach and a global vision of music, the result of collaborations with Fred Anderson, Don Cherry and Herbie Hancock, and an artistic journey that weaves together jazz, African, Caribbean and Indian traditions.
The project is led by pianist and Associate Professor Ingolv Haaland. Two electronic music students from Agder University will also participate in the workshop, which will be held on May 7 at the Saint Louis location in Milan and May 8 in Rome.
Students from Saint Louis academic courses in Rome and Milan who participate in the workshop will earn 1.5 CFA.
