Version 1.0 (2005-2016)

You can find our former blog HERE

And HERE’S a link to the worm website where there’s a quite accurate list (with short interviews) of studio residencies, intertwined with other Worm projects.

Some (Old Studio) Nice Memories;

Adi Gelbart in the studio… Adi gave us later a copy of his record ‘Preemptive Musical Offerings To Satisfy Our Future Masters‘ which was partly recorded at these sessions.

Worm Klangendum Studio

Version 2.0 (2016 – ?)

In 2017 some of the studio equipment was sold to Toonzaal Willem II in Tilburg, as it was still owned by the former CEM. We started to built up a new collection with a slightly different collection. Stuff like this;

and this;

etcetera!

The Worm publicity machine tried to interview us about that (and the re-opening in 2018). This is the result;

Question;

Opening of the Worm studio, what do you want to achieve with it?

answer; (irritated)

“What do you want to achieve with that …?” What does that mean?

Question;

The Worm studio has been open since 2005, right? How many musicians and sound artists have not worked since then?

answer;

A lot of. But that’s not our point …

Question;

What is your point?

answer;

At the beginning of last year, almost the entire ‘old’ worm studio moved to Den Bosch … And we started building the old studio with new content … That went pretty well … We now have two studios available with special old junk ….

Question;

You talk about your own stuff like that? It seems that there is a whole arsenal of vintage synths, effects and rhythm machines in one studio, and the small studio has been converted into a pre-synth modular lab …

Question;

Is this a question or a publicity talk? Of course I mean by old junk something like ‘unheard of rare electronic vintage equipment’ ….

Question;

And why exactly should musicians, producers and sound artists use the Worm studio?

answer;

Why ? Let them stay away. It’s way too much fun to work in the studio for us. It’s a kind of playground, suitable for all kinds of artistic processes … from collecting sounds to composing all kinds of music to making radio pieces and everything in between and beyond … Oh now I was too enthusiastic … Stay at home folks, with your Ableton samples you can basically do everything you want…

Question;

This is not a question, but I’ll just say it anyway; the two Worm studios are available to everyone who is professional enough to handle the equipment. We ask a small amount for studio use, a little more for commercial and supported projects. It is also possible to take out a subscription, on the one hand to support the studio in its continued existence, on the other hand there are of course also some advantages (including studio time at a reduced rate)
