"Stalwart’s heavy yet lively interplay very much belongs to a thriving new school of improvised music that transcends state (and national) borders, distilling both the silliest and most serious aspects of the wider tradition’s six-plus decades of existence into an exhilarating, ever-diverse tincture..."

- Jack Davidson, Noise Not Music

ft.
Michael Larocca - Drumset + Percussion
Caleb Duval - Double Bass
Luke Rovinsky - Electric Guitar

"...musical ideas like tiny explosions, perhaps of live ammunition, perhaps of rubber balls or confetti, that then bounce and flutter around the room at high velocity...there is a keen sense of music from various sources being taken apart and scrambled, and of new music being built before our very ears, sometimes with the air of a furrowed brow, sometimes with the flavor of cartoon characters creating Rube Goldberg music that they already know will fail to catch their mouse, and they don’t care."

- Brian Slattery, The New Haven Independent

ABOUT FIM

FIM Improvisation was established in April of 2022 by Caleb Duval and Luke Rovinsky.

In the 2 years since, they have independently organized over 60 bi-weekly concerts featuring more than 140 improvisers from New Haven, NYC, Providence, Philly, Boston, Chicago, Mexico City, Tokyo, and Berlin in bookstores, warehouses, and cafes across Connecticut.

In addition to presenting musicians touring nationally and abroad, the FIM community of regular performers now includes a number of steady collaborators and established groups with distinct musical languages.

In January of 2024, Rovinsky and Duval created FIM Records.
