inSonic 2017: Ludger Brümmer | The ZKM_Sound Dome

Within the framework of the INTERFACES project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, the festival »inSonic2017: Immersive Future« took place at the ZKM.

The ZKM | Karlsruhe, the Paris Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/ Musique (IRCAM) and the Karlsruhe University
of Arts and Design (HfG) pursued the goal of stimulating a critical discourse on the new immersive technologies of the future: The state-of-the-art should be shown and current artistic approaches and current methods should be discussed against the background of a philosophical-aesthetic discourse. Part of the festival program was a two-day symposium on December 8 and 9.

Ludger Brümmer is a composer, professor of composition, and, since 2003, head of the Institute for Music and Acoustics at the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe (ZKM), where he initiated the Sound Dome Project. The central focus of his music is the use of the computer both as an artistic means of composition and for of electronic sound production. Brümmer has also realized a series of multimedia and interdisciplinary projects, experimental music pieces, compositions for dance and live electronics, and is interested in the interaction between acoustic instruments and live video.
