Alexander von Hoffmann, born in Hamburg and raised in Trier, learned piano from Czech pianist Vitezslav Vobornik. His electronic music reflects these roots, blending jazzy piano elements with modular synthesis - in particular West Coast synthesis techniques. He is a professor at the Technische Hochshule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm, focusing on human-machine interaction, sound design, and auditory interface research. His background in electrical engineering and over 15 years of interdisciplinary work formed his approach to electronic music composition. Von Hoffmann teaches courses such as Computer-Aided Production in Electronic Music and co-developed an online lecture series on modular synthesis. His research focuses on acoustic warning signals to improve user experience in technical systems. He previously worked as a development engineer in the automotive industry and brings a strong belief in liberal values, creative experimentation, and forward-thinking innovation to both his music and teaching.

Garri Steba is a media engineer and a passionate sound designer. Since 2016, he has been sharing his knowledge as a lecturer of Sound Design at the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm. His expertise is broad, ranging from video and audio technology to sound design and audio production – a foundation he built with his master's degree from the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden. However, he is not just active in Nuremberg: Garri Steba is also involved as a faculty lecturer at the IU International University of Applied Sciences and as a lecturer for Sound Design at the SAE Institute Germany. Before his teaching career, he delved deep into the world of psychoacoustics and signal processing strategies as a research assistant at Fraunhofer IIS Audiolabs in Erlangen. Exciting research emerged from this period, for instance, on AI-generated music using speech emotion recognition and studies on the perception of applause density. Alongside his academic career, the heart of an active musician also beats within him.
As a freelance music producer and DJ, he enriches the electronic music scene. His particular passion lies in spatial audio design and comprehensive audio production techniques, utilising industry-standard software such as Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, and Ableton Live. In his teaching, Garri Steba combines technical precision with the freedom for creative experimentation. This is how he optimally prepares his students for the artistic and technical challenges that modern sound design and electronic music production present today.
