Off-ICMC

Music is what connects us, even when everything else separates us.
Music is everywhere - it accompanies us in our everyday lives. But we experience it less and less when it is played live on analog instruments. Instead, it often comes from loudspeakers or headphones, from files, from the cloud.
What is music for you? What does it sound like today? Where does it begin, where does it end?
The ligeti center invites you to listen carefully and discover new sounds. To tinker and try things out.
For over 50 years, artists, musicians and scientists from all over the world have come together every year to explore the interplay between music and digital technologies. Now the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) is coming to Hamburg-Harburg. Selected concerts are open to the public.
The Off-ICMC will take place in parallel from 11 to 16 May 2026: the free accompanying program on the topic of "Music in our digital age".

open continuously from 10.05. - 27.05.
At the transition between tracks 3 and 4 in Harburg's long-distance train station, materials and objects in transition are on display in the showcases of the Harburger Bahnhof art association. They do not show finished forms, but processes and contradictions.
