Digital PDP 15

Today we found parts of the old Digital PDP 15 from the old days when the studio was situated on Kungsgatan 8!

Daniel Araya

Our new studio engineer Daniel Araya has arrived! We are very happy to have him on board and are looking forward to maintain and develop EMS together with him.

Welcome Daniel! say Ylva Skog, Mats Lindström, Göran Svensson and myself, Isabel Thomson.

Changes at EMS

Well, in retrospect, the previous entry is quite ironic. Yes, we ARE suffering from the major crisis that Concerts Sweden/Rikskonserter are undergoing and yes, we have to put up with staff cuts. In fact I was laid off! In a few months' time I will no longer be working at EMS. I have had a wonderful time here at EMS which is a fantastic resource, quite unique in its kind. Anyone who is interested in the electroacoustic medium will agree that this is a great environment. Once you are a user of EMS you can book studio time and use up-to-date software and analogue synthesizers etc, and use the library with its collection of subject-related books. It's a brilliant working space. A bit like a public library with studios. Luckily, I'm still a user so I will go on coming to EMS and keep my fingers crossed that this is just a short interlude before something more constructive happens!

Swedish Outsiders

If you're in London on 17 and 18 May and are pining for Swedish experimental music, you can always go to the [no.signal] festival.

EAM forum

Next week, the EAM forum which is held annually, will take place at Kungliga Musikhögskolan in Stockholm and EMS. This is an opportunity for all involved with EAM in Sweden, as music promoters and on a research/higher education level, to meet and discuss important issues.

Courses at EMS

You do know EMS runs short courses in electroacoustic music don't you?
Check out Folkuniversitetets hompeage for more information.

We also have a longer part time course over 2 years that starts now and then when we have enough students. If you are interested, get in touch with us as soon as you can.

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.
