Musica Elettronica Viva

Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV) is a pioneering Italian musical ensemble that emerged from the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s. Formed in Rome in 1966, this collective of innovative musicians, including Alvin Curran, Richard Teitelbaum, and Frederic Rzewski, has been at the forefront of live acoustic and electronic improvisation. MEV's genre-defying work spans free jazz, avant-garde, and experimental sounds, making them a unique and enduring force in the world of music. With a history of groundbreaking performances and recordings, such as their 1967 album "Spacecraft," MEV continues to captivate audiences with their dynamic and unpredictable live shows, proving that their revolutionary spirit is still very much alive.
