A new electronic music studio has been opened by the University of Limerick in the west of Ireland.
Located in the Digital Media and Arts Research Centre and billed as the first studio of its kind in Ireland's academic landscape, the University of Limerick Electronic Music Studio (ULEMS) boasts a wide range of digital and analogue instruments, including a newly commissioned Buchla 200e. An opening event, featuring a talk from renowned Irish composer Roger Doyle, took place last Friday, April 12th.
As well as the Buchla instrument, the studio will offer undergraduates and visiting composers access to tools by the likes of Roli, Schlappi Engineering, Nord, Doepfer and Eventide, as well as state-of-the-art recording and surround sound monitoring.
"For over 25 years, the University of Limerick has played a key role in the development of electronic and computer music in Ireland, supporting education, research and reaching out to the wider community through conferences, festivals and partnerships," said Jürgen Simpson, director of the Digital Media and Arts Research Centre. "We're delighted to present this new facility, which offers students and guest artists a unique opportunity to explore the rich possibilities and heritage of electronic music instruments."
