next_generation 9.0

Concerts, installations, talks

Wed, June 22, 2022 – Sat, June 25, 2022, Symposium

ZKM | Center for Art and Media

As the largest meeting of university studios for electronic music, »next_generation« offers young composers a platform to present their new compositional developments.

From Wednesday, June 22 to Saturday, June 25, 2022, the ninth edition of the festival »next_generation« will take place at ZKM. Over the course of four days, an exciting and dense program will cover the latest positions on the topics of »fixed media«, »spatial music«, and »live electronics«. Thus, next_generation 9.0 guarantees a representative overview of the current creative work of the upcoming generation of composers in the context of technology and art.

This year, students of electronic university studios from Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland will have the opportunity to present their work in concerts and numerous installations at various locations in the ZKM, or to exchange ideas about their own areas of interest in lectures and discussions. In addition, professors and lecturers will report on current developments in the individual studios and departments.

- After »next_generation« could only take place as a streaming event last year due to the pandemic, we are very happy to present the 9th edition of the festival at the ZKM | Karlsruhe as an on-site event. This finally offers the opportunity to discuss, listen, exchange and experience together in persona again. How we have missed that! It is true that last year's online edition offered a small insight into the work of the studios, for which we thank all active and passive participants. Nevertheless, this can of course not be compared to a physical encounter. That's why we are proud to welcome again 22 university studios for electronic music with up to 150 students at ZKM | Hertz-Lab.
  In order to offer as many pieces as possible to as many listeners and viewers as possible, we will present 2 concerts daily with up to 6 participating studios. In addition, 8 sound installations and numerous lectures offer an interesting and dense program in which the most diverse scientific and artistic positions are articulated. In order to be able to guarantee this diversity, we decided against a thematic focus this year. So network and be curious about what your colleagues and fellow students will bring with them. We are especially looking forward to fantastic concerts and impressive works this year.
