Edition ZKM is dedicated to productions from the ZKM-Institute for Music and Acoustics. The institute is part of the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany, (ZKM) which also includes the Museum for Contemporary Art, the Media Museum, a Media Library and the Institute for Visual Media. Guest artists from all over the world are invited to work in the music studios to realize specific projects. The projects, ranging from digital synthesis and algorithmic composition to the integration of live electronics, from radio art to sound installation, encompass a broad spectrum of that locus where digital technology stimulates musical fantasy. Franz Martin Olbrisch worked with more than 2,000 miniature excerpts from the last decades of the Donaueschingen festivals of new music. The result? A kind of "musique concrète" of new music.
