F-IRE Collective is a creative music community founded by Barak Schmool.
[3] F-IRE (Fellowship for Integrated Rhythmic Expression) was named later in 1998 and came to encompass a community of artists whose outlook stretched beyond 'music alone'.
Dance, poetry, film and other modes of creative expression were as much a part of their artistic conception as the sound they produced.
F-IRE members attempt to cultivate their own directions and transcend categorical boundaries, circus or electronica, free improvisation or classical composition.
The collective's success is built on the quality of its work in education, performance and recording.
