Music Informatics

Music Informatics is an interdisciplinary work field that experiments with algorithmic processes and embeds them in the context of installations, compositions, programs and theoretical ideas. Projects in this area may be concerned with artistic and/or scientific questions and supplement other modules. At the IMM, Music Informatics is currently divided into the following areas: Algorithmic Acoustics (Algorithmic Sound Synthesis, Sonification, Philosophy of Informatics, SuperCollider), Hybrid Sound Computing / Extended Systems (Live Electronics, Tangible Auditory Interfaces, Semi-Analogue Sound Synthesis, and Graphic Programming (PureData, Max/MSP). The teaching courses live from the combination of practical abstraction and theoretical work on the material.
