"The stimulation of bio-organisms through sensory (aural/visual) and electrical stimulation in feedback loops is presented by programming stimuli in real time and in a definite time-rhythmic sequence — music is art most involved in real-time organization of sensory stimulation." - Manford L. Eaton

The MusicMakers Hacklab is a weeklong open, collaborative laboratory hosted by Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music and musician and media artist Leslie García. Now entering its 3rd edition within the CTM Festival, the Hacklab takes on the theme "Tuning Machines", relating to some of the technological ramifications of CTM 2015 "Un Tune" theme. It allows practitioners from a range of disciplines to find new ways of exploring hybrid systems of human body, biology, and sound.

The Hacklab celebrates its 3rd edition within the CTM Festival at the CTM 2015 Un Tune Exhibition opening, with special performances by Marco Donnarumma (himself present later in the week as part of the Hacklab Input sessions of talks), Berlin Community Radio's Sarah Miles, as well as a performance by this year's invited host, Leslie García.
