Experimental Sound Studio
The Jory Prum Experimental Sound Studio is a space for many modes of experimental sonic activity. The studio is designed around three main workstations. The front workstation is dedicated to experimenting with multi-channel audio techniques and two channel video playback for developing audio-visual installations for our WaveCave sound art gallery. A second workstation is centered around analog pedal processing, no-input mixing, and working with physical actuators and contact microphones. Everything is outside of the box and requires a physical presence to create or manipulate sound. The third workstation is focused on creating and recording sounds from our uniques collection of synthesizers including the rare Black Serge modular synthesizer.
