The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics

The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics IEM is one of the
leading research institutes in the field of computer music and audio
engineering. As part of the University of Music and Performing Arts
Graz, IEM serves as a multidisciplinary institution at the intersection
of arts and science. Since its establishment in 1965 the institute has
gained a reputation for outstanding artistic work in electronic and
contemporary music production, as well as for highly sophisticated
research in signal processing and acoustics. IEM's frequent
collaborators include composers Peter Ablinger, Beat Furrer, Bernhard
Lang and Olga Neuwirth, as well as ensembles Klangforum Wien, Bit20,
Ensemble Modern, Ars Nova, Athelas Sinfonietta and musikFabrik. The
design of live-electronic instruments as well as the installation of
multichannel sound projection systems in small and large concert venues
alike, make IEM a sought-after partner, providing know-how and education
to composers and musicians in striving for the best integration of
technology in research, creation and performance of new music.
