Studio 2 is a creative environment where students can experiment with an array of electronic hardware and software devices designed to enable innovation in electronic music composition and sound design.
There is an 8-channel octaphonic (diamond formation) ceiling hung speaker array plus sub woofer
The room houses a Yamaha Diskclavier piano for performance analysis and a suite of experimental electronic synthesis hardware for ‘hands on’ sound design. The computer workstation runs Logic Pro, Max 8 and Ableton Live 10 plus a host of other sound design, synthesis and analysis tools.
To gain access, new users must first attend a short (1 hour) induction session with the Studio Manager. Bookings can then be made via the Studio Booking Portal:
