The University of Texas at Austin's Electronic Music Studios (UTEMS) are among the most extensive and technologically advanced of any university in the country. Works created by U.T. faculty and student composers have been recorded on Centaur, CRI, Folkways, and other well-known contemporary music labels, and included on CDs produced by the International Computer Music Association and the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS). They have also been performed at important conference and festivals all over the world, including the International Computer Music Conference, ISCM, SEAMUS and SCI Conferences, and the Bourges Festival, among others. The most recent UTEMS CD release is entitled "Music from The University of Texas Electronic Music Studios," and is Volume 20 of Centaur's prestigious CDCM series of works from major international Computer Music centers. It contains works by faculty composers Karl Korte and Russell Pinkston, along with works by four current or former students: Howard Fredrics, Jody Nagel, Mark Schultz, and Mark Wingate.

Research and development in areas such as real-time digital signal processing, interactive performance systems, and graphical user interfaces for software synthesis languages has been supported by grants from Analog Devices, Apple, High End Systems, IBM, Motorola, NeXT, Silicon Graphics, Texas Instruments, Yamaha International, and White Instruments, among others. Software and Hardware developed in the computer music research center has been presented at major conferences, including the International Computer Music Conference, SEAMUS, the Acoustical Society of America, Audio Engineering Society, EDUCOM, and various IBM Academic Computing Conferences, and published in the Computer Music Journal.
