As the largest biennial gathering of university studios for electronic music, next_generation 8.0 offers young composers a platform to present their new compositional developments.

The eighth edition of the next_generation biennial festival will take place at ZKM from Wednesday, June 5 to Sunday, June 9, 2019. Over five days, an exciting and dense program will be offered on the latest positions of the themes »fixed media«, »spatial music« and »live electronics«.

This year, the festival will focus on »live coding«. Thus, next_generation 8.0 guarantees a representative overview of the current creative work of the next generation of composers in the context of technology and art.
