You can apply for support for a residency at Sound Art Lab, which offers the following:
Facilities
Residing artists will have their own atelier and access to professional sound studios for recording and editing stereo, surround and multi-channel works, electronic and wood workshops, as well as to our general depot of audio gear (microphones, recorders, speakers etc.). We also offer access to an old anechoic chamber here at SAL, as well as access to additional workshops and 3d printers through our partners at Sound Hub Denmark.
Artists in residency become an integrated part of the artistic environment and everyday life at Sound Art Lab. We offer sparring on your project with the SAL team and other relevant partners, technical assistance as well as communication of you and your project through SAL’s own channels. Depending on the nature of the project, SAL can also help set up a network for our guests locally amongst companies and sound experts.

At SAL we are flexible to support artists with kids, and we offer the possibility to bring family to the extent that there are rooms available.
Outreach activities
To support networking and knowledge sharing, residing artists are required to give presentations of their artistic practice and development in an artist talk at Sound Art Lab or subsequently in their own environment with help and assistance of the team at SAL.

You cannot receive support for the same project from several pools under Koda Culture. This applies according to 6.D in our regulation. Find the regulation here.
This means that if you for example apply for publication, you can only receive support once for your publishing project. You cannot receive support for publication from both The Publishing pool, The Up-and-Coming Grant and The Recording/Release Grant at the same time. On the other hand, you will be able to receive support for other processes of the same project from other pools. For example, if you have received support for the recording/release part of your project, you can apply for support for the next phase of your project, e.g. for promoting your release or from the PR pools.
We have pools that support the different processes that your project can go through. The processes can – from an overall point of view – be divided into:
If you have questions regarding the residency, you can contact Sine Tofte Hannibal (DKF) at sth@komponistforeningen.dk or Jacob Eriksen (SAL) at jacob@soundartlab.org
If you have technical questions, you can contact Koda, kodakultur@koda.dk
This residency programme is supported by Koda Kultur and is offered as part of the project ‘The future of sound art in the central region of Jutland, Denmark’ supported by Region Midtjyllands Kulturpulje.
