LOM

LOM was founded in 2011 in Bratislava, Slovakia, by Jonáš Gruska, Angakok Thoth and Or.lock. With a focus on experimental art and music from Central and Eastern Europe, LOM releases albums and organizes workshops. It makes field recording microphones and geophonic and electromagnetic sensors, and has authored multiple open-hardware instruments.

LOM runs LOM space, a place for contemporary sound in Bratislava, open since 2018, with an equipment rental and a library, and through LOM+you it supports artists, researchers and journalists. In 2019 LOM expanded its scope into mycology with the mykoLOM platform and its festival, and it has published two books about lichens.
