Slovenski Zavod Sploh za umjetnost i izdavaštvo osnovan je 1999. kao privatna neprofitna organizacija u kulturi. Bavi se produkcijom glazbe i izvedbenih umjetnosti, izdavaštvom i obrazovanjem.
Glavne aktivnosti zavoda Sploh su organizacija koncerata u sklopu ciklusa Con-Fine Aperto, serije glazbenih i plesnih improvizacija Neforma, glazbenog festivala improvizirane glazbe Nepolušno i glazbenih radionica u sklopu projekta RR – Raziskava, refleksija (Pregled, odraz). Na Izlogu suvremenog zvuka umjetnički će voditelj zavoda Sploh Tomaž Grom predstaviti projekte i aktivnosti zavoda, ali će se koncertom predstaviti i aktivni članovi slovenske improvizatorske scene.
Koncept otvorenog zvučnog događaja koji se temelji na improvizaciji, interakciji među glazbenicima različitih glazbenih provinijencija i strukturiranom pristupu organizaciji zvuka ima za cilj: promicati kreativnost u području zvuka i zvučnog procesiranja, omogućiti novi uvid u različite tehnike, načine i pristupe izražavanju u glazbi i zvuku, iznijeti neke načine kreativnog procesiranja kako bi podigli svijest i ohrabrili spajanje autora i izvođača iz područja glazbe.
Marko Karlovčec, Andrej Fon i Tomaž Grom već tri godine sviraju zajedno gotovo svakog četvrtka. Ovom prilikom su pozvali hrvatskog bubnjara Krunoslava Levačića, koji je u nekoliko navrata tijekom proteklih par godina surađivao s Tomažem Gromom.
