6daEXIt Improvisaiton Ensemble started off in 2007 at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki/Greece as the offshoot of a music improvisation course held by Alexis Porfiriadis at the Department of Music Studies. 6daEXIt is an open collective and anyone can become a member if the group agrees. Since 2014, 6daEXIt are based in A4M/Thessaloniki.

Past concerts and activities have ranged from the performance of pre-existent graphic and verbal score repertoire (including pieces by the Fluxus movement, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Kunsu Shim, and Carl Bergstrom-Nielsen), to the creation and performance of verbal and graphic scores by members of the ensemble, and free improvisation. In the past five years, 6daEXIt have collaborated with painters, dancers, music educators and schoolchildren, performed in anti-racist festivals and community outreach events across Greece, played alongside freeform noise groups and new music ensembles, as well as performing more traditional concerts in recital halls and theatres.

The constant search for new timbral, rhythmic and textural possibilities and the exploration of bodies and objects in space are central for 6daEXIt, as is the purely social and political dimension of collective music-making. Through a decidedly anti-hierarchical practice, 6daEXIt constantly question, and often happily dismiss, the spatial and temporal assumptions that underlie concert performances, as well as the rigid lines that separate sonic from visual and kinetic media, improvisation from composition, action from self-reflection, and individuality from collectivity.
