T-EMP (Trondheim Electroacoustic Music Performance)
was started as part of the performance explorations around music technology at Department of Music, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), investigating how technology makes us play differently, how it enables new modes of communication within the ensemble, and new creative improvisation methods inspired by the sonic sculpting enabled by custom made audio processing software and instruments. The band started in 2011 and has during the past 5 years collaborated with many different musicians and performed several concerts in Norway, Sweden and Ireland. T-EMP has also received economical support from Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, and recorded an album which was released in 2015: “Evil Stone Circle”, see: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/temptrondheimelectroacou
