IPEM – A Legacy of Innovation in Electronic and Experimental Music

Founded in 1963 at Ghent University, IPEM (Instituut voor Psychoacoustica en Elektronische Muziek) has been a pioneering force in electronic music, psychoacoustics, and musicology. Established by composer Karel Goeyvaerts and musicologist Rodolphe von Berg, it quickly became an influential center for experimental music research in Flanders and beyond.

Today, IPEM continues to push the boundaries of systematic musicology, exploring fields such as embodied music interaction, virtual and augmented reality in music, and neuroscientific research on musical experience. By blending technology, science, and music, IPEM remains at the forefront of cutting-edge research and artistic exploration.

With the integration of a modernized audio system, IPEM enhances its ability to analyze, create, and innovate in the world of electronic and computer music, ensuring that its legacy of sound experimentation and discovery continues to thrive.
