The studio was founded in 1958 with the collaboration of the Philips group of Eberhard Preußner. The management took over Irmfried Radauer. The first studio composition was created for the Salzburg Festival. Composers such as Josef Maria Horváth and Andor Losonczy collaborated with the electronic music studio in the following years. In 1971, the Institute for basic musical research was concerned with the professional continuation of the work. Many original recordings were however in the 60s overplayed or destroyed. The staff of the studio now oriented themselves to Pierre Schaeffer and his Groupe de recherches musicales. Works composed in this time on the spot, for performance at the World New Music Days of the International Society for New Music. Klaus Ager, Dieter Lehnhoff, Werner Raditschnig and Martin Schwarzenlander were particularly committed composers. In 1977 the Musikfestival Aspects Salzburg developed into the surroundings of the studio, to which personalities such as François Bayle, Luc Ferrari, Mauricio Kagel, Dieter Kaufmann, Bernard Parmegiani and Iannis Xenakis were invited. The studio work was extended to computer music and Metaboles III was the first Austrian computer music piece to be presented at the Styrian Autumn. In cooperation with the Austrian Ensemble for New Music the sound installation soundmobile was created, which was realized several times. From 1979 to 1996 Werner Raditschnig headed a computer music studio in Salzburg, which was put together by the electronic studio in 1996 by André Ruschkowski. In 2006 Achim Bornhöft took over the management of the studio. In the same year the relocation to Mirabellplatz in Salzburg took place. Weblinks Edit sourcetext
