KØDBYEN 

ELECTRONIC MUSIC STUDIO RESIDENCY 

A vintage sound lab and electronic music studio in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District, created in collaboration with Danish electronic music pioneers Fuzzy and Gunner Møller Pedersen. As the home of Lydskatten, the studio functions as a living museum and archive for Danish electronic music history, activating sonic heritage through hands-on creation, deep listening, and experimental sound exploration.

The studio is based on the Lydskatten Collection, a growing archive of rare instruments, equipment, tapes, photos, and materials dating back to the 1950s. The collection includes acquisitions from Else Marie Pade, Gunner Møller Pedersen, and Fuzzy, as well as contributions from the Technical University of Denmark, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, and private donors.

The studio is designed for hands-on exploration and experimental work, featuring vintage filters and oscillator units, tape machines, delays, spring reverbs, rare Danish equipment from Lyrec, DR, DTU, and Brüel & Kjær, as well as a high-end Dynaudio monitoring setup and Rostec AD/DA converters. A complete inventory of the available equipment can be provided upon request.
