Experimental Studio of Czechoslovak Radio
Electroacoustic music studio established within Czechoslovak Radio in Bratislava, 1964-65.
Composer Peter Kolman secured experimental-workplace status for a studio at Czechoslovak Radio in Bratislava in 1964, formalized in 1965 as the Experimental Studio of Czechoslovak Radio. Slovak composers explicitly looked to the precedent of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio in Warsaw, founded in 1957, along with the studios in Cologne, Milan, and Paris — information about these foreign facilities reached Bratislava largely through Józef Patkowski, the Warsaw studio’s founding director. Kolman directed the Bratislava studio until his emigration in 1977.
