From April 2017–March 2018, Takuro Shibayama worked as a guest artist at ZKM. He developed a generative composition system based on knowledge and models of cognitive science. On Thursday, June 28, 2018, he gives a lecture which is followed by a concert, giving insight into his artistic and scientific work.  

With the generative composition system he developed a new work, which moves at the borderline between electroacoustic music, spatial sound and sound art. The theoretical approaches presented in his lecture can also be listened to in the following concert. The event leads through various creative periods of the composer: it begins in the 1990s and concludes with Shibayama's latest work »Imaginary Sphere«.
