La Orquesta de Improvisadores de Buenos Aires surge como grupo a partir de un workshop dictado por Chefa Alonso  (España) en el Centro Cultural de España de Buenos Aires en 2010. Está compuesta por músicos jóvenes provenientes de diversos ámbitos (intérpretes y compositores de música académica, músicos de jazz, productores de electrónica experimental); muchos de ellos integran otros ensambles de música experimental que actualmente están activos, tales como Angstrom, Buenisssimo, COSO, Ricarda Cometa y Coro de Cámara Zahir.

La Orquesta actualmente enfoca su trabajo en la creación de un vocabulario de señas propio, que apunta a fomentar la creación libre de los intérpretes. 

En paralelo, organiza experiencias formativas y de intercambio con otros músicos improvisadores del mundo.

Alma Laprida was born in 1985. Her experience with music includes studies in a Conservatory, pure improvisation and, recently, studies in Electronic Arts. She studied piano and guitar, and also played bass and percussion. She sang in a classical music choir and she screamed imitating her punk rock heroes in school bands. She sang jazz for years and learned how to improvise. She played in a medieval music ensemble for six years, learned about ancient instruments and discovered non-tonal music. Now she uses her medieval trumpet marine and her voice to improvise, but she knows that the music she likes the most is one she has never heard yet.
