Christoph Mann studied sound engineering and works at the Hybrid Music Lab at the Dresden University of Music. He began his musical education as a member of the Dresdner Kreuzchor and continued his studies as a sound engineer at the Erich-Thienhaus-Institut in Detmold. During this time, he worked primarily in the fields of classical recording, filmsound/sounddesign and electronic music. Later, he delved deeper into audio programming and wrote his diploma thesis on the topic of "Conception, Development, and Evaluation of a System for Real-Time Control of Large Parameter Groups."

He won the 2010 Young Talent Award of the Association of German Sound Engineers (VDT) in the Sound Art category, as well as second prize in the Baden-Württemberg region's Sound Design E-Mobility competition in 2012.

At the University of Music Dresden he teaches topics related to sound and video technology, live electronics, and sound design, as well as computer-aided audiovisual project creation in general. Common tools for teaching and projects include Reaper, Ableton Live, MaxMSP, Touchdesigner, OpenFrameworks, JUCE, Unreal Engine, Processing, Houdini, lighting equipment from Lupo and Astera, as well as a wide range of audio plugins, effects pedals, microphones, exotic pickups, and sound generators.

He is responsible for the university website and, together with a team of web editors and external service providers, implemented its complete relaunch in 2017. His responsibilities include the operation and further development of all website subsystems; in this context, he is also the main contact for the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich's more than 50 web editors.

At the Hybrid Music Lab, he oversees all projects and, in 2020, developed the digital equipment rental system, which enables and schedules the rental of several hundred different items to over 600 students. As part of the externally funded project “Digital Music Education,” he played a key role in developing modern teaching methods for the module “Music and Digitality” and is currently responsible for its implementation at the HfM (University of Music). This includes not only organizing workshops on current subject-related topics but also the conception and production of a constantly growing collection of digital tutorials.

In collaboration with the Composition and Contemporary Music departments, he is responsible for planning and executing numerous ambitious multimedia concerts featuring a diverse range of artists, including Daniel Teruggi, Agostino Di Scipio, Chaya Czernowin, Sarah Nemtsov, Simon Steen-Andersen, Hans Tutschku, Martin Schüttler, Johannes Kreidler, Wolfgang Mitterer, Hanna Hartmann, Gerhard Stäbler, Robin Minard, and many others. In this context, he is also responsible for the planning and execution of the concerts of the live electronic ensemble Sound & Fury, not only at the HfM but also at venues such as the Festival Frequenz in Kiel, the Konrad-Zuse Museum Hoyerswerda or the ZKM Karlsruhe.
