Catalyst Berlin fosters an environment where the boundaries between game design, cinematic installation, and sound art dissolve. This four-week intensive is tailored for creators eager to move beyond traditional linear scoring, focusing instead on the development of immersive, playable experiences through real-time tools and generative systems.

Rather than building environments from scratch, the programme encourages a 'remix' culture. You will work with pre-existing visual and structural materials, effectively 'hacking' assets to bend the rules of physics and space to your creative signature. It is an ideal space for musicians, sound designers, and interdisciplinary artists who wish to explore how audio can take on tangible weight and presence within a digital world.

City Dwellers: A Thematic Framework

The course is anchored by the theme 'City Dwellers,' which invites participants to translate the textures, rhythms, and urban theory of real-world environments into digital soundscapes. By shifting the focus from standard game mechanics to audio-led storytelling, you will learn to construct conceptual frameworks that transform how an audience listens to and moves through a virtual space.
