What the residency offers
Residents work in the ICST Composition Studio with its multi-channel speaker arrays and the full ICST Ambisonics production setup. The ICST team provides technical onboarding on the plugins and workflows — no prior Ambisonics experience is required. Sessions typically run one to four weeks, either as a single block or spread across several dates. Residencies connect to the ASCOLTA listening series, giving artists the opportunity to present work-in-progress to an audience.
Who can apply
The programme is open to composers, sound designers, and electroacoustic artists with a focus on spatial sound. Applications are handled through ZHdK via Residency A — the official ICST studio residency programme.
