[Off-ICMC] Installation & Performance | Andrea Mancianti & Tom De Cock: “Autophagy III”

Autophagy III is a participatory installation that visitors can walk through and interact with: the interplay of small percussion instruments, sixteen suspended sound sources, and an interactive lighting system creates an immersive soundscape.

The Off-ICMC

Music is what brings us together, even when everything else pulls us apart.
Music everywhere—it is part of our everyday lives. And yet, we’re hearing it performed live on analog instruments less and less. Instead, it often reaches us through speakers or headphones, as files, from the cloud. What does music mean to you? What does it sound like today? Where does it begin—and where does it end?
The ligeti center invites you to listen more closely and discover new sounds—to explore, experiment, and play. This year, ICMC HAMBURG 2026 revives an old tradition: the Off-ICMC, a free and accompanying festival curated for the general public and anyone curious about computer music.

All Off-ICMC events are free of charge.
