Composition

Besides one-to-one lessons with Mark Andre, Manos Tsangaris or Franz Martin Olbrisch and workshops with selected artists such as Ensemble Recherche, Lucas Fels, Sarah Maria Sun, Yukiko Sugawara, Bill Forman, Jörg Widmann, and many more, seminars with Mark Andre are part of the theoretical training. The training experiences practical relevance through cooperation with major orchestras such as the Dresden Philharmonic or the Soundfactory Orchestra Wroclaw and excursions to the INM Darmstadt or the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik in Donaueschingen.

The focus is on scenic composition and performance. Project-oriented cooperative work with Manos Tsangaris is as much a part of the subject profile as interdisciplinary cooperation with various partners, including the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, the Akademie der Künste Berlin, Festspielhaus Hellerau and regular excursions e.g. to the Munich Biennale or the Gutshof Sauen.

In addition to fixed media, from live electronics to sound installation, the studies include acoustics, sound editing and programming by Franz Martin Olbrisch and Christoph Mann. The study is rounded off by a professional production environment in the studio for electronic music and various projects, e.g. as part of the Next Generation festival at the ZKM Karlsruhe, with the Toulouse Conservatory and the Bauhaus University Weimar.
