Research Project on Electronic Music in Multichannel Formats
The Electronisches Studio Basel, the Basel University of Music, and the Paul Sacher Foundation are launching the research project «Aesthetics of Spatial Audio.» It is dedicated to the preservation, research, and performance of electronic music in multichannel formats.
As part of this project, the Electronic Studio Basel and the Paul Sacher Foundation are launching, according to their press release, «a targeted collaboration based on their shared long-term interests in the legacy of electronic music, as well as its documentation, research, and revitalization.» At the same time, new opportunities for exchange between researchers, archival institutions, and artistic practice are emerging.
Made possible by a newly built multichannel studio, the project also represents «a significant step in the history of the Electronic Studio.» And it provides essential infrastructure for students, artists, and researchers to continue working with spatial audio.
