FOCUS & FOCUS EUROPÉEN
Since 2007, the FOCUS system is the chance to highlight developing bands that benefit from logistic and financial support from regional accompaniment venues and structures.
Trempolino lends a helping hand to the protagonists of today’s music in Pays de la Loire using an array of concrete services and plans adapted to the actual needs.
The Marmite follows the groups of today's music in the Nord-Pas de Calais and offers them support for the development of their careers and communications.
As contemporary music venues, the Cargö in Caen, the Carène in Brest and the Escale in Aubagne follow and support local bands all year long.

EUROPEAN FOCUS
The ATM, in association with the network “Live DMA”* and the “fédurock”**, is proud to present its latest project “EUROPEAN FOCUS", widening the tool range of its artistic support process.
This project is the new European chapter of the already well known "Focus" system. Following the exchange of support projects between the ATM and the partner stakeholders (venues and accompaniment structures) of the “Trans on Tour”, we broaden this framework to include new allies across the EU.
It consists of implementing a complete exchange programme of emerging bands with our partners on a European scale.
This project will kick start with the 33rd Trans Musicales where the first European projects will be hosted in the 4Bis on 2 and 3 December 2011.
* “Live DMA” network: Linking Initiatives & Venues in Europe (Developing Musical Actions), European network of support structures
** “Fédurock”: national network of today’s music venues
