Study-Information-Day: 5. April 2025

On April 5, 2025, the HfM Det­mold will open its doors for the 2025 Study In­form­a­tion Day.

We at the Erich Thi­en­haus In­sti­tu­te (ETI) also warmly in­vite all in­ter­es­ted in­di­vidu­als to gain in­sight in­to our teach­ing pro­gram. To this end, we have put to­geth­er a di­verse and ex­cit­ing pro­gram.

Are you in­ter­es­ted in clas­sic­al mu­sic pro­duc­tion?

Then be sure to check out the events “3D Re­cord­ings,” “Lec­ture on Au­dio His­tory,” “Clas­sic­al Pro­duc­tion: Grand Pi­ano Re­cord­ing,” and “Hands-On: Edit­ing!”

At “Hands-On: Edit­ing”, you’ll have the op­por­tun­ity to try your hand at di­git­al au­dio edit­ing un­der the guid­ance of stu­dents.

In the mod­ern mu­sic pro­duc­tion, “3D-au­dio/im­mers­ive“ is an in­creas­ingly im­port­ant top­ic and some stu­dents will present se­lec­ted 3D pro­duc­tions.

Pro­fess­or Wern­er Dab­ring­haus will give the ex­cit­ing “Lec­ture on Au­dio His­tory” and, along­side stu­dents, de­mon­strate the pro­cess of a clas­sic­al pi­ano re­cord­ing (“Grand Pi­ano Re­cord­ing”).

 

Is your main in­terest in pop mu­sic?

Then don’t miss the work­shops “Pop Pro­duc­tion: Re­cord­ing” and “Pop Pro­duc­tion: Mix­ing!”

To­geth­er with in­stru­ment­al­ists from the ETI, Pro­fess­ors Thomas Sehringer and Arne Schu­mann will of­fer in­sights in­to the world of pop pro­duc­tion. They will de­mon­strate both how a re­cord­ing is made (“Pop Pro­duc­tion: Re­cord­ing”) and how the re­cor­ded ma­ter­i­al is later mixed and pro­cessed (“Pop Pro­duc­tion: Mix­ing”).

For these ex­cit­ing de­mon­stra­tions, we will use our newly ren­ov­ated con­trol and re­cord­ing rooms.

 

Wheth­er clas­sic­al or pop – here, you’ll learn about acous­tics!

At events like “WFS Demo”, “Ar­ti­fi­cial Acous­tics: Bin­aur­al Re­cord­ing”, “In­stru­ment Ana­lys­is”, and “Ab­sorp­tion Meas­ure­ment”, you’ll dis­cov­er the in­cred­ible pos­sib­il­it­ies avail­able at our in­sti­tu­te!

In “In­stru­ment Ana­lys­is” and “Ab­sorp­tion Meas­ure­ment”, Pro­fess­or Malte Kob and stu­dents will de­mon­strate how the func­tion and sound of mu­sic­al in­stru­ments and oth­er sound sources in a room can be visu­al­ized and ana­lyzed.

A bin­aur­al dummy head mi­cro­phone con­tains two mi­cro­phones hid­den in­side real­ist­ic ear shapes. In “Ar­ti­fi­cial Acous­tics: Bin­aur­al Re­cord­ing”, Pro­fess­or Timo Grothe will show how this tech­no­logy can be used to cre­ate spa­tial acous­tic il­lu­sions.

Malte Heins will present the pos­sib­il­it­ies of wave field syn­thes­is (WFS) and de­mon­strate how this tech­no­logy can be used to gen­er­ate real­ist­ic, two-di­men­sion­al sound fields (“WFS Demo”).

 

We look for­ward to wel­com­ing you!
