Musikverket är en myndighet som har till uppdrag att främja ett varierat musikaliskt utbud präglat av konstnärlig förnyelse och hög kvalitet. Myndigheten ska också bevara, främja och tillgängliggöra teaterns, dansens och musikens kulturarv. I Musikverket ingår Musikplattformen, Arkiv och bibliotek (inklusive Caprice Records), Scenkonstmuseet, Elektronmusikstudion EMS, administrativ stab och kommunikationsstab.

EMS är en avdelning inom Musikverket som sedan 1964 har ett uppdrag att tillhandahålla studior för professionella tonsättare och ljudkonstnärers arbete med elektronisk musik och ljudkonst. EMS är öppet för både nationella och internationella konstnärer. Under 2017 arbetade 147 nationella och 123 utländska tonsättare totalt 16 350 timmar vid studion. En av EMS viktigaste uppgifter är att verka för konstnärlig utveckling och förnyelse inom den elektroakustiska musiken samt för dess integrering inom andra konstområden. EMS representerar den svenska elektroakustiska musiken i olika sammanhang, både i Sverige och internationellt. EMS bedriver också egna utbildningar samt erbjuder kontinuerlig fortbildning av studions användare.

EMS har för närvarande fyra medarbetare och lokalerna är placerade i Münchenbryggeriet på Söder Mälarstrand i Stockholm. Vi söker nu en studioadministratör/utbildningskoordinator på 50 %.

New York-based musician, electronics artist and DJ Antenes operates a laboratory of self-made sequencers and synthesizers using repurposed vintage telecom equipment. Known for her inventive soundscapes, Antenes treats the studio as a space for sculpting emergent patterns, textures, and percussion layers. Drawing musical influence from the curious and ephemeral sound-world of outdated telephone and telegraph networking systems and modern telecommunications data transmission, her productions integrate sounds reminiscent of pulsing analog relay switching systems, errant radio transmissions, cross-continental echo, signature drones and message interferences between the wires.
 
Inspired by the Buchla 100 modular system, her synth work is featured in the 2013 film ‘I Dream of Wires: The Modular Synthesizer Documentary’, as well as in several master’s theses including Mills College and Fashion Institute of Technology NY. She also leads hands-on synth workshops, having recently lectured at dBs Music School in Berlin, True School of Music Mumbai, CalArts in LA, MoogFest, Oberlin College, Dame Electric Festival and The Kitchen (NYC).

Antti Tolvi is a composer, sound artist, performer and Qi Gong teacher. He moved in his teens from countryside to city, and got excited about playing didgeridoo. Soon saxophone and free jazz entered the picture and caught Antti's attention.
His interest in Classical Indian Music took him all the way to Varansi to study music. After India, Antti studied Taiji and nature back in Finland. Chaos and wild freedom turned into minimalism and Zen. Now Antti has found him self again in the countryside, whit winds, birds, silence and harmony of everything.
 
Freedom, peace, gratitude and minimalist aesthetic reflects from Antti Tolvis works. www.anttitolvi.com
 
His residency is kindly supported by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
