Elektronmusikstudion EMS x Sounding Future
EMS x Sounding Future – 3D AudioSpace
EMS presents a collaboration with Sounding Future, a digital platform focusing on innovation in electronic music, sound design, and immersive audio. Sounding Future offers a unique forum for artists to explore and publish experimental sound projects, including 3D and ambisonic audio, as well as sharing knowledge and inspiration with an international community. EMS has curated an exclusive selection of composers with long-standing ties to the studio and Sweden’s electroacoustic music scene, presented in Sounding Future’s 3D AudioSpace.
- David Granström – “Transience”
An ambisonic version based on original material from the album Empty Room (Hallow Ground, 2021), remastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. - Helene Hedsund – “Miskas-25”
Stereo reduction of MIŠKAS (originally 12 channels). Recorded with forest sounds from Druskininkai, Lithuania, 2012. “MIŠKAS” means forest in Lithuanian. - Jens Hedman – “Invisible Colours”
The music is created solely from over thirty synthesizers, both vintage and modern. - Kim Hedås – “Dense”
Dense builds on ideas of spatiality in relation to time. The music’s spatial and temporal changes create a continuously evolving polyphony, where imaginary places, spaces, and directions form the foundation of the music. - Mattias Petersson – “Change”
Originally performed live as a streamed concert during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2021. Composed for a Buchla 200e system, controlled and processed with custom-developed software. - Paulina Sundin – “Utresa”
Utresa is part of Öronblick, a unique textile-light-sound/music installation project created for the Textilmuseum in Borås, Sweden. - Pär Johansson – “Toccata”
The title refers to free, improvisatory pieces for keyboard instruments from the North German Baroque, built from sections with different characters. - Susanne Skog – “Kontinenten”
“There was a continent. This is the sound of its absence.” The piece moves from west to east across a map of a fictional continent – but the continent itself is missing, a silent void.
