The music studio was founded in 1984 by Friedbert Wissmann as a studio for electronic sound generation at the Carl Maria von Weber Academy of Music in Dresden. The students were initially trained on keyboards . The use of Commodore 64 and Amiga followed . In the early 1990s, the computer-aided system Samplitude was developed here together with the TU Dresden . In 1993, Professor Wilfried Jentzsch took over responsibility for the facility. He introduced new systems like the Apple Macintosh and Pro Tools . Between 2006 and 2008 Michael Flade was acting head of the studio. Professor Franz Martin Olbrisch has been its director since September 2008 . Together with his colleague Jürgen Lange and the students, Olbrisch developed the room control project out of control . In 2010 the International Darmstadt Summer Courses invited the studio with this project for a fortnight. Olbrisch brought many guests to the Dresden studio, including Gilles Gobeil , Norbert Schnell ( IRCAM , Paris), Hans-Joachim Hespos and Daniel Teruggi ( Groupe de recherches musicales , Paris).
