The facility is home to a full-service recording, mixing, and mastering studio for hire;Audible Gallery,a small public space for exhibitions, meetings, workshops, performances, and artists' projects; and theCreative Audio Archive—an invaluable collection of recordings, print, and visual ephemera related to avant-garde and exploratory sound and music of the last five decades. ESS presents eclectic performance and installation programming, workshops, and artist talks year round—both in the various spaces around the studio (including its beautiful garden) and at various partner venues around Chicago.
