Description

The first part of the talk will deal with the first generation of electronic music in Sweden and the birth of EMS. The second will give an orientation on the current situation and activities at EMS.

Mats Lindström (*1960, Sweden) works as a composer and a musician, often with strains of live-electronics and with live performance, intermedia, scenic elements and visual arts as a complement to the music. He has worked both with music for theatre, opera, radio art and dance. Formerly an engineer in the electronics industry he has designed and constructed a number of unique electronic musical instruments and apparatuses. Some use light as a sound generating source. He teaches sound art and has given lectures worldwide on sound art and the history of the Swedish electronic music scene. During the 1990s he worked for the Fylkingen society, both as producer and as president. Since 2004 he is the artistic director of Elektronmusikstudion, EMS in Stockholm. elektronmusikstudion.se
