Where does the boundary between a tool and an instrument lie, and how does the act of shaping sound define an artistic identity? The Electronic Music Production & Performance programme is a project-based environment designed for musicians who seek to compose, record, perform, and publish their own work within a vibrant, experimental community. Rather than adhering to narrow genre constraints, the programme encourages you to navigate the intersection of technical mastery and conceptual inquiry.

You will explore electronic sound from its fundamental principles to advanced spatial audio, working within a professional ecosystem that includes purpose-built recording studios, Dolby Atmos suites, and custom-built hardware like the Serge-format modular synthesizer. The curriculum is built to support your transition from initial concept to finished outcome, fostering a creative voice that is both technically rigorous and intellectually informed.

A Genre-Agnostic Ecosystem

The programme thrives on the diversity of its cohort, where club culture practitioners, ambient composers, and sound designers exchange ideas and methodologies. You will develop a future-proof toolkit, gaining proficiency in:

• Composition, sound design, and live performance techniques.
• The design and construction of original musical instruments and coding systems.
• Advanced mixing, mastering, and spatial sound manipulation.
• Professional project management, collaboration, and critical self-reflection.

By engaging with Berlin’s unique music scene and participating in interdisciplinary projects, you will learn to navigate the professional landscape while maintaining a sustainable, long-term creative practice.
