On December 15-16, 2023, Zeitschleife co-hosted and supported a symposium featuring concerts, presentations, and a demonstration of a newly-create instrument, the Frescobaldi2

Detailed program can be found here.

The symposium featured a number of talks, each exploring a different aspect related to microtonality and intonation on keyboard instruments.

A number of composers were also invited to create works that used a software created by Martin Ritter, allowing an e-piano to be re-tuned in real time to any tuning system.

Finally, the Organon research group (Univ. Prof. Mag. Klaus Lang, DDr. Martin Ritter, Dr. Alyssa M. Aska, and Mag. Pablo Mariña) demonstrated a prototype they developed with support from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. This also included performances on the instrument by Klaus Lang.
