Studio for Electro-Acoustic Music (SeaM)

The studio specialised in electro-acoustic music is based on an intensive co-operation between The LISZT SCHOOL of Music Weimar and The Bauhaus University in Weimar. Its goal is to extend the training offered in the subject of electro-acoustic music and sound organization in both institutions. The SeaM thereby offers versatile possibilities for the production of electro-acoustic music which often spreads into many areas (Multimedia) - as well as for the study and development of new artistic topics.

The SeaM offers

  • A comprehensive training (seminars, practice sessions, special lectures) in electro-acoustic and computer-assisted composition, insound installations as well as in multimedia projects, which are developed in co-operation with the medium faculty of the Bauhaus University
  • Technical equipment with high professional standards for a founded study of electro-acoustic composition and the associated realisation of new works is available
  • Presentation of electro-acoustic music and media art in the form of concerts and tours - frequently in connection with guest lectures or concert presentations by composers both from Germany and foreign countries
The Institute for Contemporary Music and the SeaM are situated in the main building (Fürstenhaus) and are connected with the recording studio and the concert hall at the academy. Thus a maximum flexibility is created for the technical support of differing artistic projects.

During the study period the following is offered:

  • An introduction to electro-acoustic music (Professor Robin Minard)
  • Electro-acoustic composition (Professor Robin Minard)
  • Colloquium (Professor Robin Minard)
  • Programming in CSound/SuperCollider/Max/MSP and others (coworker Hanns Holger Rutz)
  • Special topics regarding electro-acoustic composition - three-dimensional sound organization, appliances for the manipulation of sounds etc. (coworker Hanns Holger Rutz)
  • An introduction to recording and studio technology I & II
    (Joachim Mueller)
  • Special courses in Multimedia - e.g. Director, Flash, jitter, video management, etc. (according to supply)
