Welcome to the Electronic Music Studios

The Stanley Glasser Electronic Music Studios were established in 1968 by composer, instrument maker and musicologist Hugh Davies, and comprise a suite of working areas for undergraduate & postgraduate students wishing to explore the creative potential of studio equipment & audio software in relation to composition, live electronics, interactive performance, sound-art, acoustic ecology and research.

The EMS supports the Interlace concert series, the Unit for Sound Practice Research (SPR), and is a member of the Live Algorithms for Music research network.
