Hands-on Electronic Studio Basel (ESB)
This study programme is geared as closely as possible to practice and dovetails with the production and research activities of the Electronic Studio. From a very early stage, students are involved in the activities of the Electronic Studio and are also required to initiate and carry out their own projects.
About the Electronic Studio
The Electronic Studio of the School of Music (ESB), situated at the heart of Campus Basel Musik-Akademie, is both an educational institute and a research and production site. It offers a very well equipped recording, production and experimental studio. Furthermore, the ESB organises public concerts, festivals, symposia and workshops.
Besides several high-end recording spaces, the Electronic Studio also has a main control room, two multi-channel studios, a stereo editing station and an electronics workshop at its disposal.
A multitude of electronic instruments and controllers allow for interactive musical and transmedia work and experiments. A flexible, modern sound system enables the Studio to organize all kinds of concerts of electronic music as well as cognitive studies on acoustics and experiments in audio psychology. The Studio also owns several rare, historic electronic music instruments.
In collaboration with the Gare du Nord, the Bahnhof für Neue Musik, the Electronic Studio curates and hosts the NACHTSTROM concert series and also collaborates with other institutions in Switzerland and abroad in the planning and implementation of the most varied artistic productions.
The Studio thus attracts attention far beyond Basel itself. It creates valuable contacts between students and experienced guest composers who realize and discuss their work in the framework of seminars and workshops.
The central location of the Studio, in the heart of the Musik-Akademie, is a determining factor in its conceptual objectives. Its proximity to the instrumental tradition of the house means that it offers an open, stimulating and inclusive musical environment in which creativity can thrive. Electronic music is thus not a field for outsiders in an institute of its own, but an integral part of the culture and teaching activities.
