Bachelor
Electronic Music Performance
Currently, electronic musicians everywhere are searching for ways to include more live elements in their performance and Jazz musicians are exploring the possibilities of electronic music.
The EMP (Electronic Music Performance) programme prepares you for a successful career at the junction of those two directions.
The idea is to get the sound directly from your head into songs and, more importantly: on stage. Produce music at a professional level and then perform it, in new creative ways, with talented musicians. Making the most of all the possibilities music technology has to offer.

STUDENT INTERVIEW - GEORGIEV ALEKSIEV
Electronic Music Performance
I am Georgi Aleksiev and I am the first student in the EMP course. I was born in Bulgaria but grew up in Belgium. I am an artist and producer, I studied jazz music, guitar, piano, vocals and drums in a music academy in Brussels. I produce pop, rock, reggae, house and many other genres and a lot of my work is already on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. Since my first year in the conservatory, I have been experimenting more and more with the jazz material that I study in class and apply it to my tracks, and also collaborating with different musicians in my year that also influence the songs with their ideas.
