The Studio of Acoustic Art is the experimental sound studio of the German television and radio network Westdeutscher Rundfunk [WDR] in Cologne. The initiative to establish the Studio was launched in 1963 under the leadership of Klaus Sch–ning. Since then, it has become a leading venue for the investigation, production, and dissemination of ars acustica, or "acoustic art," an innovative genre that draws upon and interweaves heterogeneous auditory elements into complex compositions. In addition to producing a weekly radio broadcast on WDR, the Studio functions as an open atelier for practitioners from a variety of artistic fields. In its 30 years of existence,the Studio has collaborated with over 120 international artists and assembled an archive of over one thousand pieces. This includes original work as well as documentary materials [interviews, discussions, etc.]. Over 30 of its productions have received international prizes. Its diverse programs and archives include polyphonic music, sound poetry, experimental literature, multilingual collage, and urban soundscapes. |
