News and events - Elektronmusikstudion 2011
Resident artists Vinyl Terror and Horror spent two weeks at EMS in November and among onther things performed at the Sound of Stockholm festival. VTH uses heavily modified record players and vinyl reords to create multi layered compositions of noise, klicks and fragments of music and speech.
During their stay at EMS they cooperated with studio engineer Daniel Araya to use EMS computer controlled milling machine to create a number of innovative records and tools for their live performances.
You can find out more about them at their homepage: http://www.vinylterrorandhorror.com/
Horizontal and vertical holes cut in one recod and then many matchning pieces cut from another record.
Depending on the direction of thacks in the inserted piece the needle moves on the recod creating both a mash up of the different records and a simple sequencer
Jigsaw puzzle pieces cut out from different records and the put together.
A 7 inch circle was cut out and then glued back in a different position
A 7 inch circle was cut out and then glued back in a different position, the process then repeated multiple times.

This months synth-DIY meeting was a great success, Nils Edvardsson showed some of his creations, a wave table oscillator and a switched capacitor filter and we looked at a couple of other interesting projects.
We also decided to do a workshop in early 2012 where the participants will build a custom version of the Benjolin noisemaker, stay tuned!
EMS presents the Synth DIY gathering on Wednesday November 30
Anyone who is interested in building, modifying or repairing synthesizers and other devices is very welcome to join us. Don't expect tuition led by a teacher, but rather a forum where we learn from eachother. Nevertheless, we will organize lectures, workshops and DIY evenings for beginners and advanced builders alike, within the context of these get-togethers.
This time inventor and musician Nils Edvardsson will bring some of his prototypes for public testing. His latest projects include a Buchla inspired wave table oscillator with USB, a switched capacitor filter and voltage controlled digital delays and granular synthesis modules. His modules feature full analog interfaces and mixed micro controlled and analog circuitry on the inside.
Feel free to bring you own constructions, drawings, sketches etc. Soldering-irons and ordinary tools can be borrowed on location.
Any queries should be adressed to teknik@elektronmusikstudion.se . Write "DIY" in the subject line.

Jean-Philippe Antoine is a guest composer at EMS (August 2011). He is in Stockholm to work with Leif Elggren. Originally a teacher of theory of history of art and a visual artist, he has become more and more involved in sound art projects. His collaboration with Leif Elggren started with a lecture-performance about visual artist Marcel Broodthaers in which Leif's sounds and live mixing played an important part. Since then they have started working on more collaborative projects, one of which was issued 18 months ago as a 7" vinyl record on Leif's Label, Firework Edition.
Starts at 18:00
Quadraphonic, location-specific sound installations by Helene Hedsund, Girilal Baars, Boa Pettersson, Magnus Johansson and Eva Erbenius will be played in one of the rooms at Forsby Kvarn . In April 2010, the EAM professional course went to Forsby kvarn carrying with them a selection of different types of microphones. Sound-engineer Agnieszka Lewalski, their teacher, guided them and demonstrated different recording techniques. The composers have all made different sound installations with the sounds they recorded: e.g. Helene used sounds from a saw blade and Eva used sounds recorded with a hydrophone.
