Music Technology Studio

Electronic Music Studio

The Faculty of Music's Electronic Music Studio (EMS) consists of a multi-purpose lab, a control room, and an array of smaller spaces designed for sound recording, music production, critical listening, and digital media creation. EMS spaces feature modern equipment and acoustic treatment, and are interconnected to support large recording projects.

Beyond multichannel recording and playback, the EMS also supports analog synthesis, DIY electronics, video projection, and a wide array of analog and digital signal processing.
