Since 2017-2018, a separate development track has been set up for young composers studying at a conservatoire who participated in SOUNDMINE. THE TIMES ACADEMY is a design studio and co-creation track, in which a new composition takes shape in intensive cooperation with musicians from HERMESensemble. The inspirer of the project was composer Wim Henderickx. Bram Van Camp and Maya Verlaak took over as coaches for this edition.

Four new pieces will be unleashed on the world on 30 June 2024 at 15:00 in the HERMESstudio in Wijnegem: Tina Geroldinger wrote Underground Spin, Richard He composed Letters in November, by Jasmine Karimova we will hear The Whale and Elizabete Beāte Rudzinska’s new composition is called Fragments.
