Playtime: Trafic Composition novelties

These evenings offer a glimpse into the evolution of their individual aesthetic. The audience should not expect conventional concerts but evenings of artistic exploration where music becomes a meeting point of many practices. Acoustic performances, immersive electroacoustic, visual and interactive installations will be shown, thereby blurring the lines between these formats. The students are composers, performers, collaborators, technicians, and curators of their own and each other’s work. The result is a vibrant, ever-shifting landscape of contemporary artistic expression.

All works presented have been conceived and realised during the fall semester and under the guidance of dedicated faculty – but with the freedom to push boundaries and question norms. These three evenings are not only showcases of technical skill and artistic vision, but also celebrations of imagination, risk-taking, and the joyful, unpredictable Trafic of contemporary creation.
