In the Multichannel Diffusion Studio, students learn diffusion techniques for live-, fixed media, and generative contexts.

Outfitted with eight DynAudio BM5A Monitors, seven ceiling-mounted Genelec 8010As, and a stereo pair of Mackies, the space currently accommodates diffusion for up to fifteen discrete channels.

The multichannel studio supports classwork, research, and sometimes special projects: two dedicated TIMARA majors recently used the multichannel diffusion studio to help Oberlin’s Contemporary Music Ensemble in reviving Jonathan Harvey’s ‘Bird Concerto with PianoSong’ for a recent concert season.

For several years, it has also been home to a student-run listening group, first initiated by TIMARA alum Jack Hamill as ‘studio 3 listening‘ in January 2019.
