At the beginnings of the 80’s the centre started its activities of production, restoration and didactic, together with the experimental course of Music Computer Sciences, created by Maestro Pietro Grossi. Thanks to advanced specific competences and equipment, MARTLab could focus its work on the study and research of the handling of sound files.

Recently MARTLab has collaborated with the Fondazione Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale in the realization and promotion of the event Sound Archives of Music, a project based on the study of certification’s standards and sound archives’preservation. Since 2009, MARTALab is part of the Centro Multimediale del Conservatorio L. Cherubini di Firenze (Multimedia Centre of the Conservatory L. Cherubini in Florence).
