Centre for Music and Technology

Doctoral studies at the CM&T are a recent turn in the life of the centre (first doctoral student in 2010). Earlier research activities were driven from outside the centre. Now there is a synergy towards more research activities involving and representing the interests of the entire community of our center: staff members, doctoral students and other students. Our research activities are mainly practice based at the moment and many involve artistic experimentation.

The forms of research are:

  • individual artistic research
  • group artistic research
  • development of tools
  • large projects
