News and events - Elektronmusikstudion 2012
On October 17 EMS is pleased to present Tom Bugs (Bristol, England). Tom brings to EMS his BugBrand Modular for an intimate talk and hands-on demonstration session. Tom's approaches and designs can be seen as a mix of technology, art and business - while the world goes crazy for Euro-Rack, Tom has ploughed his own furrow, building a complete and distinct system from the ground up. He talks about why he likes to walk his own way, why bananas rule and why electronic design feels like cookery.
The presentation starts 18:30 and is approximately two hours long. After the presentation you are welcome to ask questions and test instruments.
Check out the John Cage Special at Moderna Muséet, Stockholm, 2-9 September 2012!
Heldag med EMS i Bucky Dome
Nyfiken på musik från Elektronmusikstudion, EMS? Bege dig till Moderna Museet lördag den 25 augusti. En orgie i ljud och ljus utlovas.
Sommaren 1971 intogs trädgården utanför Moderna Museet av kupoltältet Bucky Dome, ett genreöverskridande konstprojekt som kombinerade musik, konst, design och arkitektur. 41 år senare har tältet rests igen.
Från maj till september 2012 bjuder museet på Skeppsholmen i Stockholm in till konserter, workshoppar och performance i Bucky Dome. Lördag den 25 augusti har turen kommit till Elektronmusikstudion, EMS, att inta scenen.
Nytt elektroniskt blandas med gammalt. Under dagen, 10-17.00, spelas ett hela sju timmar långt program med musik från de senaste 50 åren på EMS. Utställningen Propro Prop – Kors och tvärs genom Elektronmusikstudions arkiv 1965–2012, som under sommaren visas på Moderna Museet i Malmö, flyttas till Stockholm för en dag.
Senare på kvällen, 20-22.00, bjuds det på en formidabel ljud- och ljusexplosion med framträdanden av sex ljudkonstnärer med koppling till EMS. Internationellt uppmärksammade Hanna Hartman, Daniel M Karlsson, som arbetar med mötet mellan musik och rörlig bild, Daniel Skoglund med sina teckningsseqensers, studiochefen Mats Lindström, som framför sin signaturmelodi One (for David Tudor), en gång beställd av Moderna Museet, samt Kim Hedås, tonsättare som i år är dubbelaktuell på arkitekturbiennalen i Venedig, här i nytt samarbete med EMS ingenjör Daniel Araya med analoga ljussensationer. Program: http://www.modernamuseet.se/sv/Stockholm/Program/EMS-live-i-Bucky-Dome-/
I samband med EMS program i Bucky Dome får Moderna Museet även besök av den japanske konstnären Sadaharu Horio. Hans perfomance pågår under hela dagen och kvällen.
John Cage (1912–1992) räknas som en av de riktiga pionjärerna inom den elektroakustiska musiken. I år skulle den experimentella konstnären och kompositören ha fyllt 100 år. Mellan den 2 och 9 september uppmärksammas jubileet med flera programpunkter i Bucky Dome och inne på Moderna Museet, i samarbete med bland andra EMS.

Talk on field recording techniques by sound artist Jez Riley French, Tuesday 8 May at 18.30
Jez Riley French (UK) lectures on his work with field recordings, involving extended techniques, contact microphones, coils, hydrophones, scores for listening/active listening, audible silence and quietude. This is followed by an open discussion/q&a session on the broad subject of field recording – both as a creative practice and the influence it is having on a closer relationship to sound.
