a call for membership
The Association of Improvising Musicians Toronto is a not-for-profit organization mandated to promote the creative improvised music in the Toronto area. We extend an open invitation to anyone who shares an interest in our mandate to add their name to our list of members seen to the right.
The primary, tangible goal in the AIMToronto mandate is the
continuation and development of the Interface Series,
in which internationally-recognized artists from other
scenes collaborate with local musicians throughout a
series of concerts, generally over the course of a
weekend. As a means toward the exposure of local
musicians to a broader musical community outside
Toronto, we see this process as being invaluable and,
as such, it is the organizational priority for now.
Beyond the Interface Series, we recognize that the
"scene" of creative improvised music in Toronto is
generated primarily through the
energies of musicians who organize and promote events,
series, workshops, etc. for their music and that of
others. As such, AIMToronto has been set up as an available
resource where members can request assistance toward
the success of endeavours that fall under the
AIMToronto mandate.
As a member, you can make such a request to any board
member (see below) who will co-ordinate your
representation/participation at a future board meeting
for the hearing of your request. It should go without
saying that, at this stage, we have very limited
resources and, as such, we are committed to help within
our capacity to do so.
Membership is free, and is open to anyone who supports
the tenets of the AIMToronto mandate. You can obtain
membership simply by contacting us. We will ask you to fill out a
membership form.
These forms are collected in order to help us understand the
individual members and to recognize and appreciate the scope
of creative improvised music in the Toronto area in general.
Questions about AIMToronto are welcome and encouraged. We
look forward to your contribution to the ongoing
cultivation of creative improvised music in Toronto,
and to the spirit of collaboration, communication and
cameraderie that it engenders.

Quoting the letter of thanks to those who participated
in the Interface with Jean Derome in May 2005,
"...At this point, the benefits of membership are primarily
symbolic: it's largely an expression of solidarity. However,
as the organization grows, the Board recognizes the potential
for various partnerships, sponsorships, and other types of
support in an effort to increase the visibility and vitality
of creative improvised music in the Toronto area. If you have
lingering questions about what AIMToronto is or does, please
do not hesitate to contact us."
