The Electronic Production and Design Department at Berklee is home to faculty
and students who are passionate about the creative manipulation of sound. We
welcome the latest technologies and explore practical applications of research
in the field, embracing advances in game design, software development, and
all aspects of computer music and video performance, along with innovative
music production and sound design techniques. The Department seeks oppor-
tunities for our students to collaborate and learn from other leading musicians,
artists, and industry professionals, as we are seeing in tonight’s concert, curated

by Department Chair Michael Bierylo

The Berklee Interdisciplinary Arts Institute (BIA) is a crucible that enables excep-
tional students to collaborate with leading artists working in every medium

imaginable.

Students build a mixed-media portfolio while learning to explore, experiment,
and manage professional-level projects across multiple artistic disciplines, con-
tributing music, sound design, and composition skills to enrich the work of

other artists.

By engaging with leading artists, scholars, and program directors, students
gain first-hand knowledge of cutting-edge global arts and their societal impact.
With BIAI's strong focus on building aesthetic, analytical, and entrepreneurial
skills in a high-mentorship environment, students are prepared to contribute to
the artistic discourse and economy of our time. The director of the institute is

Berklee Electronic Production and Design Department professor Neil Leonard.
