Today the CSC is organized in: a research laboratory (LIM1), a production laboratory (LIM2), a preservation working environment, a laboratory for experiments and installations, and an archive (Lungargine del Piovego 1, 35131 Padova, Italy)
The laboratory is equipped with sophisticated multipurpose systems which
can demonstrate innovative use of new audio visual technology for
producing impressive effects in music performance and audio
documents preservation/restoration: tracking system, audio processing, haptic interface.
In the archive are stored
hundreds of audio documents, often
unpublished (open reel tapes, cassettes, digital audio tapes,
phonographic discs, floppy disks, magneto-optical disks, optical disks,
hard
disk arrays) and millions of paper documents (scientific articles,
books, correspondences, internal reports, musical scores) written by
composers and researchers. A interesting section of the archive is
dedicated to the preparatory materials of the musical works realized in
CSC (synthesis sounds, source code, computer printout, etc.).
The archive is unquestionably an outstanding testimony of the musical history in the second half of XX Century.
