Interesting quartet from china, having a recording session at the studio. They presented themselves for a full house at sunday with a great show. Upcoming RadioWORM is about Contemporary Music in China (part two) Thanks to Yan Yun and FM3 Zhang.

STU was for ever (2 days) tuning the arp 2500 to his liking, the only way to tame the beast…
Here’s a demotrack!

Basic knowledge of recording and editing is required. But you don¹t need to be an expert and the WORM crew can always help you.
The project happens in a 3-weeks timespan. The majority of the work is self-efficacy of the participants, so you can spend as much time as you find necessary.

For people who have no equipment we outline the possible uses of worm-gear or what equipment is adequate and cheap to buy, etc. Furthermore, a listening of material allready made by the workshop members last week and any criticism or comment thereon. And a brief explanation about filtering or editing materials, and possibly adding electronic elements.

With the arrival of two HKU sound design students, robin and nick, who will do an 10 week internship at the WORMstudio, the midi implementation takes a higher gear. Watch the coming weeks the progression we make, starting with ableton live and max for live patches, using two kentons to connect to the arp, the korg, the putney. We promise christmas tunes, cheeky arrangements and brandnew ringtones.
