Trummerflora, or rubble plants and trees, are a special phenomenon unique to heavily bombed urban areas. The bomb acts as a plow, mixing rubble fragments with the earth which often contain seeds dormant for a century or more. These seeds come to light and those that can live in this new and special earth grow and flourish. The Trummerflora Collective is an independent group of musicmakers dedicated to experimental and improvisative musics. The collective embraces the pluralistic nature of creative music as an important means of artistic expression for the individual and the community, and provides an atmosphere that nurtures the creative development of its member artists.

Trummerflora presents the 2nd Annual Spring Reverb, a festival of original music and art. Performers from Japan, Europe, Canada, Mexico and the U.S. come together for this celebration of creative culture. These musicmakers represent a fascinating international subculture of genre-bending aesthetic risk-takers pushing the limits of the musical imagination. Each with a unique approach, these artists are unbound by any unifying philosophy, no dogma, simply a commitment to musical exploration, artistic freedom and the creative process. At the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, creative music workshops, visuals and dance will open up the possibilities even further during this intense, multi-stage, all-ages event. The following night at La Antigua Bodega de Papel in Tijuana will uncover new configurations as the artists collaborate, combine and invent in a more intimate setting. Many of the performers will be making their Left Coast debut at Spring Reverb, so this is sure to be a very special Spring festival.
Creative Music Workshops at MCASD Presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Trummerflora Collective We are thrilled to introduce an educational component to this year's Spring Reverb. San Diego-area elementary through high school music programs are invited to take part in an extraordinary and exciting music workshop that demonstrates current directions in creative new music. The workshop presentations will feature an international assortment of cutting edge artists explaining various approaches to improvised, electronic, and multi-media music. The presentations will be specially tailored for elementary through high school-aged students, and will include components about improvisation, electronic music, homemade instrument building and experimental video. A high priority will be placed on answering questions and interaction between audience and presenters. The 45-minute workshop presentations will take place on Wednesday, April 30th, at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's Downtown location. Three separate presentations are currently scheduled- 10am, 11:30am, and 1pm.
