The Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES) was founded in 1957 in Warsaw by the official state broadcaster of Poland. It was launched as a space for the creation of independent compositions, sound illustrations for radio dramas, soundtracks for theatre, film and dance. 
The establishment of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio was brainchild of Włodzimierz Sokorski, head of the Radio and Television Committee. Between 1952 and 1956 he was Minister of Culture, as well as a strong advocate of socialist realism, fighting against any manifestation of modernity in music. 
Created only a few years after similar experimental-oriented radio units in Paris (1948), Cologne (1951) and Milan (1955), under the direction of the Studio's founder, Józef Patkowski, PRES became a laboratory for experimentation. 
Despite this, PRES' output has been underrepresented in the history of 20th century music.
