LIPM


Laboratorio de Investigación y Producción Musical
(Musical Production and Research Laboratory)

Buenos Aires - Argentina


The "Laboratorio de Investigación y Producción Musical" (Musical Production and Research Laboratory, LIPM) is the most important electroacoustic music center in Latin America. It is part of the Music Department of the Music and Technology Division, Recoleta Cultural Center (Centro Cultural Recoleta) and is dependant on the Buenos Aires City Municipality.

LIPM is the inheritor and continuator of former institutions that began doing research and production of electronic music in Argentina in the late 50's: the Estudio de Fonología Musical of the University of Buenos Aires, founded in 1958, and the Laboratory of the Centro Latinoamericano de Altos Estudios Musicales (CLAEM) of the Di Tella Institute, founded in 1964. Pioneers that developed those studios kept working together through time, and they are presently the main staff of LIPM.

LIPM's main interest is the diffussion of the current scope of contemporary music and its relationship to technology. A present day approach is maintained in composition research, teaching and diffusion activities. Its facilities are available to musicians interested in the possibilities that technology offers to composition, and to researchers and teachers who wish to widen their knowledge and develop new teaching methods. Also counselling and cooperation is provided to institutions specializing in teaching and musical research.

Diffusion is carried out through courses, workshops and lectures on the current problems of music and through concerts of contemporary music.

Works produced at LIPM have obtained awards at international competitions. Many composers who introduced themselves to electroacoustic techniques at LIPM are now doing research and teaching at important institutions in Argentina and abroad.

LIPM is involved in an active academic exchange with centers dedicated to electroacoustic music all over the world.
