About the project
This concert is the result of a collaboration between SiTron, SWR Experimentalstudio, and students from NTNU’s Music Technology program.
Over the past months, the participants have worked together through workshops and rehearsals in Trondheim, exploring the relationship between instruments, live electronics, and space. The project combines technical training with artistic experimentation, giving students hands-on experience with spatial sound and collaborative creation.
Presented as part of Meta.Morf Biennale, the concert brings these processes into a live setting—where ideas are tested in front of an audience.

SiTron [NO]
SiTron (formerly Trondheim Sinfonietta) is a Trondheim-based chamber ensemble dedicated to contemporary music. Drawing on musicians from the city’s vibrant professional scene—including freelancers, NTNU, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, and the Air Force Band—the ensemble serves as both a workplace and a creative meeting point for performers with a passion for new music.
SiTron’s repertoire spans composed works and music with strong elements of improvisation, demanding both technical precision and artistic individuality. The ensemble frequently collaborates across disciplines, engaging with artists and institutions in Trondheim and the wider Mid-Norwegian region.
Committed to highlighting composers connected to Trondheim and Mid-Norway, SiTron commissions new works and curates projects with a regional and international outlook. Their latest release, Imprints (Particular Recordings, 2024), features works by Arne Nordheim, Pierre Boulez, Terje Viken, and Rolf Gupta. Previous recordings include Mantra (2018), with music by Ellen Lindquist, Trygve Brøske, Maja Ratkje, Eirik Hegdal, and Jon Øyvind Ness, as well as the Spellemann-winning children’s album Så Rart…! (2008).

SWR Experimentalstudio [DE]
The SWR Experimentalstudio (Freiburg) is one of the world’s leading institutions for live-electronic and experimental music. Founded in 1971, it bridges compositional ideas and technical realisation, enabling composers, sound designers, engineers, and sound directors to collaborate on creating new works that integrate live electronics, spatial sound, and modern production technologies.
As a fully staffed, specialist studio, they annually invite composers to benefit from working grants to develop ambitious projects, as well as offering staging and realization support. Their work is performed globally at major festivals (such as Wiener Festwochen, Biennale di Venezia, Festival d’Automne à Paris) and in prestigious venues including Teatro alla Scala (Milan), Carnegie Hall (New York), and others.
Historically, the studio has been the site for some of the most important electronic and live-electronic works of the 20ᵗʰ and 21ˢᵗ centuries, by composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez, Luigi Nono, and, more recently, Mark Andre, Chaya Czernowin, and Georg Friedrich Haas. Since 2022, SWR Experimentalstudio has been led by Joachim Haas.

Meta.Morf 2026
Trondheim Biennale for Art and Technology is an international gathering initiated and organized by TEKS – Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre. The biennale explores the intersections between art, technology, and science, aiming to showcase cutting-edge projects and critical ideas that develop new outlooks and offer unique perspectives on our technologically entangled lives.
Since its establishment in 2010, Meta.Morf has grown into the most extensive biennale for art and technology in Scandinavia.
Artistic and scientific research continuously challenge and change our perspectives on life, often leading to new philosophical and existential questions. Biotechnology, nanotechnology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and new communication and computer technologies are some of the fields that push the boundaries of artistic practice, contributing to alternative approaches to scientific problems and technological developments.
The artist, as a conveyor and interpreter of new knowledge and research, plays a crucial role in society’s ability to critically reflect and engage in discussions about new technologies, and scientific advancements.
Through a variety of artistic perspectives and curatorial approaches Meta.Morf presents artists, writers, scientists, and researchers that extend our understanding of contemporary socio-political, technological, and cultural developments.
