The HfM is investing one of its two HTA professorships in a joint research project with the THWS, which focuses on the observation and measurement of processes of interpretation and creativity. One of the aims is to promote and further develop musical creativity, interpretation and improvisation concepts in connection with the organ. Artificial intelligence methods will be used, among other things.

The HfM was able to recruit Prof. Hannes Ritschel for an HTA professorship, in whose position he is now also conducting a joint research project with the THWS, focussing on the observation and measurement of processes in connection with interpretation and creativity. One of the objectives pursued is the promotion and further development of musical creativity, interpretation and interpretation processes.
The digitally controllable concert organ from Orgelbau Klais, Bonn, in the Great Hall of the University of Music serves as a mechanical and digital interface between people and technology. The hall organ is currently being upgraded to a "hyper-organ", making it one of currently six organs worldwide to have the status of an instrument that is both historically conceived and equipped with the latest technology.
