Armoniapolis is a collection of short musical events made by composers from around the world who are using sounds of their environment as their main musical material.
They are modifying and combining these sounds by using words to create original compositions. Armoniapolis is a world soundscape, recomposed by the creative ear of its participants and a musical score that can have numerous individual interpretations. Each participant in the Armoniapolis can be either a composer, a performer or both.
