Courses

PLEASE NOTE: all the courses are taught in Swedish.

The courses at EMS are open to anyone who is interested in electroacoustic music, live electronics and sound art as well as other related forms of expressions. The courses are also obligatory if you wish to work in any of our studios.

The introduction course focuses on electroacoustic music as a genre. The aim of the other courses is to focus on the nitty-gritty of production in the studio, sound-editing, useful software, analogue synthesizers, sound-recording techniques etc, etc. The teachers are all active composers, well-experienced in studio work and/or live electronics.
