R10 is an electronic media studio based in Leicester, UK. We collect and preserve important artefacts and stories from electronic music and computer art history and use them to inspire current and future artists and musicians. We do this by undertaking and sharing research, running workshops, organising live events, and creating new music, art and multimedia projects.

R10 was established in 2015 and we are now relocating to a new space in the LCB Depot in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter. The new R10 studio will open on January 1st, 2025. In our first year in this new space we’re focusing on four key projects: 1) restoring our EMS Synthi 100 synthesiser; 2) creating a multimedia studio using 1990s audiovisual equipment; 3) preserving and showcasing Jack Tait’s electromechanical drawing machines; and 4) undertaking research into British cybernetic art and music from the late-1960s and early-1970s.

We are applying for funding and planning a Crowdfunder campaign in 2025 to support the Leicester Synthi 100 restoration. However, R10 is ultimately a community project, and the studio will only succeed if we can maintain a commitment from people like you to support it. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for the latest information, Get in touch by email if you can help us with our projects, and if you would like to make a financial donation to R10 we'd love to hear from you, or use the PayPal link at the bottom of this page.

This new phase of R10 is a collaboration between  Krafthaus Arts CIC and the Computer Arts Archive CIC with support from Interact Digital Arts Ltd and New Media Art Club CIC. Contact us at info@r10.uk,
