Hangar, the centre for art research and production in Barcelona, Spain, is one of the nicest places for doing workshops and experimental performances and has an amazing team of people running it (see the THANK YOU list below!).

Following FLO performances in Melbourne and Sydney and collaboration with ZAF and Roger (Alsop) on the 'Along the riverrun' projects in Melbourne, Nela and Roger were invited to do a short residency at the Academy of Music, University of Zagreb. As part of this residency, Nela did a talk about FLO and, together with Roger, …
EO and FLO collaboration was 'on the cards' since Nela met Roger Mills (amazing trumpeter, producer and founder of the Ethernet Orchestra), at the World Stage Design 2017 in Tapei, where Roger presented his work with EO and talked about how they did the recording of their latest album 'Oceans Between Sound' (which btw is …
