The Experimentalstudio des SWR is a recording and production facility for electronic music in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. It houses specialized equipment for sound creation, manipulation, and playback, along with spaces designed for performances and collaborative work.

The studio was founded in 1971 and quickly became a center for experimental electronic music across Europe. Over the following decades, many important composers presented their innovative works in these spaces.

The studio has become a gathering place for composers exploring electronic sounds and new compositional techniques from around the world. Visitors can observe how creative minds use technology to push the boundaries of what music can be.
