The “Trust the Note” Sharing Session was presented for the first time at the Montreux Jazz Academy in 2021, with Jowee Omicil as the mentor, offering a vibrant, intimate taste of the larger BasH! AkademY experience. This session brings the Akademy’s core principles into a close-knit setting, embracing spontaneity, authenticity, and shared growth. Through real-time improvisation, musicians are invited to trust their instincts and flow freely in the moment, embodying the Akademy’s philsophy of unrestrained creativity and collaborative energy.

Acting as a microcosm of the BasH! AkademY, this session presents a unique, accessible approach to music education and exploration. As a stand-alone event or a prelude to the full Akademy, “Trust the Note” channels the boundless spirit of collective inspiration and musical possibility.

​

A 3-Day Immersive Journey in Sound, Space, and Flow - The BasH! AkademY invites musicians and creators to break boundaries and immerse themselves in a space where music, silence, and community intertwine.

​Over three days, participants will experience

"The Freedom Flow", an unbroken improvisational journey, that serves as the heart of the BasH! AkademY.

The BasH! AkademY, founded by visionary musician Jowee Omicil, is a groundbreaking platform for immersive music education that emphasizes creativity, spontaneity, and unity over traditional constraints. Guided by core principles of Love, Joy, and Honesty, the AkademY offers musicians and creators a space to break boundaries, embrace improvisation, and foster genuine connections.

Through collaborative sessions, participants are encouraged to "Trust the Note" and explore music in an environment where spontaneity and mutual growth thrive. By breaking down conventional barriers, the BasH! AkademY creates a transformative journey in sound and self-expression.
