The synthesis and composition workshop is designed to reflect the tools and methods of sound synthesis, electronic music composition, and performance in the context of the artistic work of the attendees. Each session includes a three-hour synthesis workshop and a three-hour composition workshop. Individual mentoring sessions are also available to address participants‘ specific needs and questions.

Key takeaways:
-Understanding and applying audio synthesis and signal flow
-Compositional techniques and development
-Reflecting on applied aesthetics and technologies
