The Institute for Sonic Arts Research (IRZU) was established in 2008 by Miha Ciglar, an audio engineer and sound artist working at the intersection of art and technology. IRZU is based on an interdisciplinary concept and produces works in the field of electro-acoustic music/inter-media performances and installations and conducts audio technology research and educational activities.

Inštitut za raziskovanje zvočnih umetnosti (IRZU) je aktiven na področju elektroakustične glasbe, intermedijskih nastopov in instalacij ter raziskovalnih in izobraževalnih dejavnosti na področju zvočne tehnologije.

EarZoom Sonic Arts Festival

The EarZoom Sonic Arts Festival in Ljubljana featured electro-acoustic performances, lectures, installations by invited foreign and domestic artists and sonic researchers. One of the aims of the festival was to push the dialogue amongst the existing Slovene institutions which have already been involved in contemporary music and sonic arts but mainly on an individual basis. In 2010, the 6-day festival featured over 40 international scientists and artists. In 2012 the festival formed a platform for the 38th International Computer Music Conference in Ljubljana.

International cooperation

In 2010 IRZU co-founded T.R.A.C.E.S. – Transcultural Research, Artist, Curator Exchange Series together with Trans Cultures, Mons (BE), Nida Art Colony, Vilnius (LT), The Kitchen, Budapest (HU), Pixelache, Helsinki (FI), and MIGA Migrating Art Academies, Berlin (DE). The project was funded by the European Commission and had furthered the festival's aim to create a referential international platform for discussing the latest developments within audio technology research and the artistic trends of sonic practices.
