The institute for Music and Acoustics at the ZKM, as the largest electronic studio in Germany, has taken on responsibility for this diverse and innovative musical genre. Every two years since 2005, it has invited more than twenty studios from all over Germany and the world to a major “next_generation” festival at ZKM. In two daily concerts and a four-day symposium under the motto “Light–Space–Sound,” more than eighty new compositions will be publicly performed, analyzed, and discussed in the event spaces of the ZKM with a total of 150 participating composers and artists. Many of these works will be presented for the first time ever.
The Event is part of the initiative "Tag der Musik" of the Deutsche Musikrat.
