Studio 2 is a creative environment where music faculty 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, you must be a member of the Oxford Music Faculty. 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:
