In search of new musical possibilities, we challenge established compositional parameters, tools, and techniques; examine perceptual dynamics; and explore aesthetics of extreme, fringe, forgotten, and less-known genres and works. We draw parallels between avant-garde music and multimedia across time, place, and style. Weekly projects culminate in our innOVATION performance at the cutting-edge Audio Lab (50 speakers, 4 screens). Our inclusive approach to sonic, technological, structural, and conceptual experimentation welcomes creative minds from different programs.
