The Sampo academy is aimed at musicians who wish to transcend the sound boundaries of their instrument using the Sampo. It offers a chance to discover the Sampo during a period intensive training, to transform one's instrument into an augmented one, and to introduce oneself to mixed music.

The program includes masterclasses, concerts and individual and collective workshops with the Sampo in order to discover diverse aspects of mixed music. The academy takes place in a convivial atmosphere which fosters encounters with other performers and composers.

Working with the Sampo does not require any previous experience in the field of electroacoustic or mixed music. Therefore the academy is open to musicians from all walks of life within the limit of the number of places available.
