ENSEMBLE 2012 is a modular project that was developed in response to the trend which sees specialized ensembles becoming an ever more important factor in many sectors of the new music scene. The project is to create a fruitful and sustained work situation during the two-week International Summer Course, to encourage a discussion of fundamental questions of contemporary ensemble work and composition, and to establish networks whose effects will unfold beyond the duration of the course.
The project involves ensembles with many different artistic profiles, regional provenances, and organizational structures: some ensembles at the start of their careers; others having just attained international recognition; as well as experienced, well-established groups.
Under the umbrella of ENSEMBLE 2012 several modules are combined: projects of the visiting ensembles, the promotion scheme boost! with modules for young ensembles as well as for the prize winners of 2010, a workshop of the youth ensemble for new music Studio musikFabrik and a communicative module for the discussion of administrative questions. A special focus is also given to the establishment of networks between ensembles and young composers. ENSEMBLE 2012 intends to get them opportunities to discuss, rehearse, and witness performances of their pieces with ensembles and coaches. Specifically, this includes: the „Call for Scores boost!“ (completed on March 1st), the Ensemble Composition Workshop with Ensemble Dal Niente and the Reading Sessions.

The OPEN SPACE project is a tool for self-motorized exchange and self-organized knowledge transfer which was initiated in 2010 and had lots of response in 2012 too: 186 projects and presentations were created. Regardless of whether you are a course participant, tutor, or visitor of the Summer Course: If you want to organize your own public meeting, discussion or talk, give a lecture, present a work or thought, play musical recordings, screen a film, or propose other public events, the OPEN SPACE rooms offer the framework to do so. OPEN SPACE is set up as an autonomous public zone, a platform for self-organized exchange complementary to the official curriculum of the Darmstadt Summer Course.

Colloquium Analysis, Aesthetics & Theory |
Aesthetics, Analysis & Theory
Form – Proportion – Durations – Rhythm
The 1950s and 60s were – especially in the environment of the Darmstadt Summer Course – a time of fundamental reflection on composition, and on what music is and can be. This was connected to an extremely rich body of theoretical work. Individual ideas formulated at that time, for example concerning structure, have long since proved fundamental to further compositional development. But what happened to other ideas vigorously debated fifty years ago? Are they still occupying composers today, perhaps in altered guises? This seminar series on the analysis, aesthetics and theory of New Music will examine two complexes of questions that were current around 1960: musical form (starting from Stefan Wolpe's various Darmstadt lectures on the subject »Proportion« from 1960-1962 and the congress lectures on »Form« from 1965) and rhythm (starting from Messiaen's Darmstadt lecture series of 1961). A concise presentation of the historical position in the form of a lecture will be the catalyst, and will determine the perspective from which selected compositions from recent years will be analyzed. There will be seven seminars, with three-hour sessions on alternate days. Three of these will be available for each of the two question complexes, with a further three hours devoted to presentations by course participants.
All events will be held in English as well as German, and will take place at the Schader-Forum.

At the latest when Edgard Varèse held in 1950 his lecture „The sound world of the electronic music“ and Robert Beyer and Werner Meyer-Eppler in addition corresponding separate studio events, the subject „electronic music“ or more open „music and technology“ in Darmstadt was put. Since this time of commencement of the Darmstadt Summer Course electronic and/or electroacoustic sound production have been refelcted in the very practical sense as well as in theoretical considerations and lectures.
Nevertheless, in spite of the fact that during two Course weeks without firmly installed electronic studio time and frame were limited this subject has kept in varying intensity for decades, also because Darmstadt always was and is the place for the most topical trends in the new music.

Conference on Sound, Media and Environment
in cooperation with the Hochschule Darmstadt, Media Campus Dieburg
From July 25 to 28, 2012, the conference "The Global Composition" will take place for the first time, at the Hochschule Darmstadt: a conference that investigates concepts, strategies, and methods for exploring soundscapes. Here, the world is conceived as an orchestra, whose objects are instruments and whose denizens are instrumentalists, whose sounds continually interact and interfere. Thus the search for a global composition is initiated, to transform the real life environment into a kind of "listening attraction". The goaql is to reveal social, political, and economic hindrances, and to discuss ideas for a sustainable design for human living spaces, with concomitant cultivation of our auditory capabilities.
Keynote speakers will be, among others, Bill Fontana (San Francisco, USA), R. Murray Schafer (Indian River, Canada) and Hildegard Westerkamp (Vancouver, Canada).
Participants at the Darmstadt Summer Courses are invited to attend the conference and to respond to the relevant calls.
Details on the keynote speakers, calls, and conference fees will shortly become available at The Global Composition.
We are pleased that Bill Fontana and Hildegard Westerkamp have agreed to also lead workshops at this year's Darmstadt Summer courses. Also, on Friday, July 27, 2012, they will develop a program within the framework of the Electronics Atelier.
