Electronic Music Studio

Electronic music equipment The electronic music studio has a full array of equipment, from classic instruments such as Moog, Buchla and Arp synthesizers and multi-track tape recorders, to those that meet the current standards for digital synthesis, hard disc recording, signal processing, computer sequencing and editing. Beyond class time, students have access to the studio from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.

An integral part of the performing arts at Sarah Lawrence, the electronic music studio serves the Electronic Music Program as well as the music, dance, theater, and filmmaking departments. Courses that incorporate electronic music are offered in the dance and theater departments, and students may also arrange individually to compose works for student dance compositions, theater productions and films. This encourages and fosters student collaboration across disciplines. There are also ample opportunities for students to present their work in concerts and workshops.

The Director of Electronic Music at Sarah Lawrence College is John Yannelli.
