In this interactive workshop, we will create innovative music synthesizers together – from concept to performance. Using artificial intelligence, microcontrollers, and sensors, we design unique sound generators that influence each other and are controlled by external inputs.

In just one day, experimental sound generators are created, laying the foundation for future developments as prototypes. The workshop provides an ideal experimental space for creative hackers, sound tinkerers, and anyone who wants to connect music, technology, and co-creation.

The workshop is divided into four phases:

I Start – Idea Generation and Concept Development: Each of the teams develops its own synthesizer concept with unique inputs, synthesis methods, and programmed behaviors.

II Code – AI-powered Software Development: We implement our concepts using artificial intelligence and pre-built code blocks to create functional software.

III Build – Hardware & Iteration: Parallel to coding, we build the corresponding hardware prototypes and test them through rapid iterations.

IV Perform – Collective Concert: At the end of the workshop, the synthesizers are networked and presented live in a collective jam session.
