Association

The association MPS-Studio e.V. is founded by us in Villingen in 2022, the rooms of the listed MPS studio with museum status are rented, renovated and re-recorded.

Who we are

 

We are a team made up of friends from the cultural sector, art historians, designers, music producers, sound engineers, educators and people from the regional industry. We are united by our love of music, this special historical location and the desire not only to protect and manage this unique monument, but also to make it accessible to the public.

The open word, trust, transparency and team spirit are not just empty words for us. Only from these points of view do we see the basis for this great joint adventure, namely to preserve the legendary world-famous MPS studio with its great history for posterity and to make it a meeting place for all generations and an interface for like-minded people. In doing so, we are significantly expanding the cultural and museum offerings in the Black Forest, as there are no comparable places with this history.

What do we want?

 

 The organization of studio concerts has a long tradition in the MPS studio: jazz and classical music. We are taking this tradition into a new era, so our focus is on improvised music, neo-classical, experimental music, electronic, turntablism, noise, jazz and anything else that cannot be easily categorized. In the area of EVENTS you will find the latest information.

The purposeful completion, expansion, consolidation and supplementation of the archives with the aim of processing and documenting the work of the MPS studio, the studio founder and sound engineer Hans-Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS), his employees at SABA and MPS-Records and other people closely associated with the MPS studio.

The preservation of the MPS Studio and all objects associated with the studio (archival material - photographs, press material, library material, etc. - as well as technical and musical equipment) as a unit of movable and non-movable goods in order to protect them as a whole from decay and to preserve them for future generations, naturally in cooperation with the Monuments Office and specialists.

The systematic and, if necessary, scientific preparation and processing of the objects/archives. This includes the appropriate object group-specific inventory and documentation and contextual classification of the objects and the comprehensible documentation of knowledge for communication to the public and passing on to future generations. The operation of the studio with an active recording practice.

The conception, organization and implementation of events. These can include the following formats, among others: Concerts, festivals, film evenings, readings, lectures and exhibitions. In particular, but not exclusively, at the studio location and the surrounding area.

In order to actively promote music and music technology education, the aim is to collaborate with local and regional music schools, music colleges, sound engineering classes, schools and other music education institutions. Guided tours and practical workshops will also be offered for children and young people. Scholarships will be made available to actively promote young talent.

There is an international network of record companies, media, musicians and bands.
The acquisition of active and passive members, sponsors and helpers is necessary to secure the future of this place.
