This MA covers flow, motivation, creative blocks and what the research says about how people do their best work. For some that means understanding their own practice better. For others, building a career working with creatives.
Cordele's intro session is an hour with the Programme Lead. A good way to see if the MA fits what you're working towards. Sign up here (👉️https://catalyst-berlin.com/about/psychology-workshops?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=oragnic&utm_campaign=news)

Catalyst has a new home. We're moving to Neukölln in October 2026.
The work happening across our programmes has grown in ways our current spaces can no longer keep up with. At KALLE we'll have more specialist music and film studios, more rehearsing and performance spaces, and more room for our creative community to flourish.
We're building the facilities around our students and the work they do here. Every space on our two floors is designed around our students and the artistic directions they are taking.
Inside it is our playground to build. Outside, it's better connected to the city, with parks, performance venues and food spots.
The stickers on the hand dryers, the bake sales, polite dogs on campus, and the people who make this place what it is, all comes with us.

If you're a composer, sonic artist, experimental musician or interdisciplinary sound practitioner with an existing practice,
this MA is for you.
The programme provides the structure, studio access and supervision to broaden and deepen that practice. This happens through negotiated and self-directed research, weekly workshops, guest lectures and a final body of publicly presented work.

Experimentation first, software second.
Our programme is built around sonic arts, composition, and performance. Ableton, our studios, and a range of electronic instruments are just some of the tools available to help you establish your own artistic voice.
Ben Bacon, our Certificate Lead, covers the curriculum and artistic direction of the programme in this free online intro.
Study as a full Bachelor's degree or as a one-year programme.

All That Jazz… and all that hard work! 🎷🔥
