Electrons have been driven through cables to produce music for 120 years, and musicians are still being asked questions like, "Are you making music or just checking your email?" IMM students Corbinian Beitelstein and Fabian Schulz forwarded this and other questions to artists and experts in the field of electronic music. 4TRACK, the result of their work, unites various generations and genres of electronic music from Düsseldorf. At an April 2011 performance in the Salon des Amateurs, which was simultaneously a technical examination for their finals in the Audio and Video Engineering program, they utilised the medium of Live Cinema.

The final year project was supervised by Professor Dr Karin Welkert-Schmitt (FHD) and IMM Professor Manfred Waffender.

On 17 November 2010 in the renowned Tonhalle Düsseldorf, the University Orchestra of the Robert Schumann School of Music and Media, conducted by Prof. Rüdiger Bohn, played pieces including Beethoven‘s Piano Concerto No. 3. This event was accompanied by a 30-person team from the IMM, which transmitted the performance as a live stream. The first 10 minutes can be seen here.

On 9 November 2009 the Henschel quartet paid a visit to the Institute For Music And Media and played the IV String Quartet which was composed and dedicated to the quartet itself by Prof. Manfred Trojahn. The third movement which can be seen here is an extract from the resulting DVD that was recorded by a team of IMM students under the technical direction of Jonathan Natzel and the stage direction of Erol Sarp. The project was initiated and supervised by Prof. Manfred Waffender.

The portrait of the Düsseldorf author and publisher Niklas Stiller is the result of a semester paper in the Music and AV Production major.
