As part of my research on the Rajazz theory, supported by the Arts Research Fund, I launched a call for scores in October 2024. Several composers responded with works created using Rajazz, in a variety of styles and through different compositional approaches. <\/p>\n
You can listen to all of these works on this page. At the bottom of the page, you will also find detailed information about each of them. This call to collective creative intelligence serves a dual purpose: to document the theoretical aspects of Rajazz theory, and to foster a spirit of sharing and reflection around an activity\u2014composition\u2014that is often practiced in solitude. <\/p>\n
The Rajazz Collective page is therefore dedicated to showcasing these various contributions, and remains open to anyone wishing to join in the future by composing a piece based on Rajazz, in one form or another.<\/p>\n
