The Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra is a large ensemble of around twenty musicians from diverse artistic origins such as free improvisation, experimental musics, jazz, classical music, folk, performance (art), and pop. Since its inaugural project in October 2002 the orchestra has established a reputation, both locally and internationally, for innovative and critically acclaimed improvised music. A slew of collaborations with world renowned improvisers have helped expand the band's critical horizons. A key focus for the ensemble is the exploration of improvisation in a large group context. This ongoing research has employed various approaches such as graphic notation, text scores, spatial and formal strategies, conduction techniques, responses to film, conversation and above all listening.
