Empathy Driven
Improvisation
Empathology is a collective centering fully improvised musical empathy
Every event we produce features new ensembles creating music from the empathy of the moment
The musicians on-stage take what’s alive in ourselves, in the audience, in the room, and pour it into what we play
The result is new, fresh music at every show, that’s unique to that group of musicians, that audience, that room
Evergrowing
Musical Community
In the 5-years since our debut, Empathology has featured 200+ musicians across hundreds of shows
We are now embracing the community we’ve built, and empowering it to produce better events.
Alchemy jams feature honed intent, bringing new musicians together to conjure music by connection.
Showcase nights spotlight an artist, who will share their music, before inviting us to join in creation.
Funded by our Ko-fi, joining gives you voice to shape our path on Discord, compensation for events you help produce, and discounted (often free) admission to shows.
