Guest composers

The last few weeks have been very busy indeed here at EMS!
Several guest composers have been here, some of them simultaneously:
Diana Simpson, Jakob Riis, Hideki Kozakura, Robert van Heumen, Andrea Neumann, Sabine Ercklentz, Erik Bünger, John Bowers, Steven Takasugi and I hope I haven't forgotten anyone! More and more composers seem to come here from afar to work with our Buchla.
