======================================

“Perhaps present time and past time
Are both present in future time
And future time contained in past time.
If all time is eternally present
All time is irredeemable.” | T. S. Eliot, in Four Quartets

“Real Time Composition is a tool that puts into practice a radical decentring to approach what goes beyond human experience.” | Emma Bigé, philosopher, dancer, curator

"Real-Time Composition is a tool that “runs the risk” of being successful in solving decision and selection problems in improvisation or composition processes. That’s one of its strengths. But that’s not all that drives us. We’re driven by the desire to find strategies for suspending certainty. To find ways of thinking about action and making thoughts act. Finding ways of not knowing together.
TEMPO REAL LAB was born out of the desire to realise this statement." | João Fiadeiro
