Origin and History:

The Production Section of the Centro Multimediale del Conservatorio di Firenze (Multimedia Center of the Conservatory of Florence) started its activity in 2009. With Prof. Alfonso Belfiore as coordinator, the section developed around the course of Composition and Multimedia Composition of the Department of Music and New Technologies (MNT) that he directed.

The creation of a multimedia center with a section dedicated to the production and promotion of works of contemporary music and art, derives from the will of the direction to institutionalize the value of the wide production of the MNT and to create new spaces, resources and opportunities for students that would like to work with contemporary music.

The Multimedia Production Section has been able to support and promote the realization of contemporary art works that range from electroacoustic music pieces to audio-visual works, from interactive multimedia installations to live electronics. Many of these works have been selected and performed during important events of contemporary music and art, such as SEAMUS conference (Society of Electroacustic Music United States), ICMC (international computer music conference), NYCEMF (New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival), having the possibility to reach an international public from the US to Canada and Mexico, from UK to Greece, Slovenia and even Australia.

Realized Projects

Establishment of the instrumental ensemble: MNT_Florence Ensemble. This project was born in the Department of Music and New Technologies during the course of Multimedia Composition and Art Installation. The ensemble made its debut in March 2010 during the multimedia event IL CORPO/LA LUCE/IL SUONO 2010, with a program realized under the direction of Esther Lamneck, from the New York University.

Performing Arts Laboratory. This project is aimed at the development of a multimedia artistic workshop where acoustic and electronic instruments, the languages of the most advanced interactive visual and music technologies, the use of the body - from gesture to dance - and poetry are merged together creating a conscious and intense artistic expression.
