His Lectures are located at the Großes Studio EN 324.

The focus of his lectures is:

Acousmatic music, its principles, techniques and survival

The upcoming lectures will take place: (Timeschedule)

The basic contens of the lectures:

1) Historical technical review of EA from the GRM approach: machines, systems and ideas. Their implication today in acousmatic composition. The philosophy of transformed sound.

2) The analisis of electroacoustic music. Historical overview, different approaches and techniques. The Acousmographe (a completely new version will be available then) and interactive analysis.

3) Space and music. On this session, I will develop different approaches to space in regards to my own music. The projection systems as Acousmonium, listening music at home.

4) What to do with our heritage. The problematics of preservation. Preservation and digitisation. National and interantional projects. The birth of an effective community to preserve, describe and enhance EA music.

Biography (french):

Born 11.3.1952 La Plata, Argentine

Après des études musicales de composition et piano en Argentine, il poursuit son cursus en France, à partir de 1977, dans la classe de Composition Électroacoustique et de Recherche Musicale du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. En 1983, il rejoint l'INA GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales de l'Institut National de l'Audiovisuel) où il est responsable pédagogique pour les systèmes numériques destinés aux compositeurs. Il devient ensuite directeur artistique du GRM. Depuis 1997, il en est le directeur.

Ces dernières années, il s'est plus particulièrement intéressé à la problématique de création des compositeurs, à leur rapport à la recherche et au développement de nouveaux outils qui intègrent leurs demandes et élargissent le domaine des concepts appliqués à la composition électroacoustique.

Il compose des musiques sur support, pour petits ensembles et support ainsi que pour instruments traités en temps réel. Le son acousmatique reste au centre de ses préoccupations. Sa musique a été enregistrée sous différents labels européens et américains, il est l'auteur de nombreux articles sur la musique acousmatique et la projection du son.

Docteur en Art et Technologie de l'Université Paris 8, il enseigne le travail du son associé aux arts plastiques à l'Université Paris I Sorbonne. Il dirige un séminaire sur les nouvelles technologies et la musique à l'Université Paris IV.
