COMMUTE (COMposition and MUsic TEchnology) is a festival of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, which focuses on sound, visual and music technology. It offers new works from the Department of Composition and Improvisational Performing Arts which have been combined to concerts for the audience. In addition to student work, the festival includes works by outstanding musicians and artists both domestically and internationally.
This spring, the festival is taking place for the fourth time, from 18th to 24th of April 2022.
This year marks the 10th birthday of the EAMT’s audiovisual composition curriculum: the first graduating class started in the academic year 2011/2012. The curriculum provides students a basic understanding of how visual art can be integrated into musical thinking. By now, a Master’s programme has grown out of the Bachelor’s opened then. With great pleasure we see the number and the qualification of students applying for the curriculum growing year by year.
