Composition

Besides one-to-one lessons with Mark Andre, Manos Tsangaris or Stefan Prins, and workshops with selected artists such as Ensemble Recherche, Lucas Fels, Sarah Maria Sun, Arditti Quartett, Peter Veale, 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 MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Dresden Philharmonic or the Soundfactory Orchestra Wroclaw and excursions to the INM Darmstadt.

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.

From fixed media to live electronics and audio-visual sound installations, the studies include acoustics, sound and video editing and programming as well as the possibility to develop and perform hybrid electro-acoustic instruments in the „Sound&Fury“ improvisation ensemble. The study is rounded off by a professional production environment in the Hybrid Music Lab 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.
