Music
The Music Technology and Innovation – Institute for Sonic Creativity (MTI2) at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ encompasses a broad and continually evolving range of artistic creation and theory focused on innovative application of new technologies to music. It emphasises electroacoustic music and sonic art, their associated field of scholarly study and an extensive outreach programme. The MTI2 programme was established in 1999, and the Institute is now acknowledged globally as a leader in its field. Its projects include the Electroacoustic Resources Site initiatives, EARS and EARS 2 and initiatives in electroacoustic music analysis (notably eAnalysis and OREMA). The Institute is host to the international journal Organised Sound (Cambridge University Press).
