The genius of collaboration/percussionist Roberto Maqueda

My guest today is a percussionist, performer and creator of the Manifesto of 10 Statements on Collaboration. Roberto is also the founder of a band called re-convert, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in the next few days. Congratulations! In this interview we talked about collaboration as an artistic process and everyday tool for a long-term perspective and sustainability. Together with his friends, Roberto will launch a new festival "FOG" for electronic and contemporary music this fall. We talked about the challenges of such a project and the organizational details.
