Andrea Neumann and Sabine Ercklentz at EMS

Their visit here at EMS was short but they worked hard. They also gave a concert here at EMS which was very enjoyable. We will be seeing them again shortly as they are preparing something for Art's Birthday in January 2008.

Diana Simpson

Autumn 2007 is proving to be a very guest-composer specked autumn as far as we are concerned here at EMS. This trend will continue after the new year, as Diana Simpson will be coming to work in our studios for a period of about three weeks. More information on that soon. We're looking forward to her visit.

Kevin Drumm

This week, Kevin Drumm spent some time in studio 4 here at EMS and some enticing Buchla sounds seeped out. He also held a seminar on Sunday 30 September, which I am told was much appreciated.
