About

Florian Hollerweger is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of audio streaming, generative music systems, and open-source software development. His most notable contribution is the creation of **Streaaam**, a fully automated experimental audio streaming server built entirely from Free/Libre Open Source Software. This platform pushes the boundaries of online radio by integrating a synthesized-speech moderator, real-time data from web APIs, and the automatic loading and playing of generative music—effectively creating a self-sustaining, intelligent broadcast environment. While his citation count is modest, the impact of Streaaam lies in its practical, pedagogical value within higher education, serving as a powerful, replicable model for teaching audio programming, network systems, and digital art. Hollerweger’s work exemplifies how open-source tools can be combined to create novel, autonomous media experiences, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in experimental audio, live coding, and the future of internet radio.
