Institute of Sonology

The Institute of Sonology is an education and research center for electronic and computer music based at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague in the Netherlands.

The studio grew under Koenig's leadership, and in 1967 an annual international electronic music course was founded which exists to this day.

International attention increased in 1971 with the purchase of a PDP-15 minicomputer which was used to develop programs for algorithmic composition and digital sound synthesis.

In 1986, the institute was moved to the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, hosting the International Computer Music Conference there during its inaugural year.
