Rendezvous: Concert: Composition Workshops for Conducted Ensemble and for Solo Instrument and Electronics, June 27
Composition Workshop: Soloist and Electronics
The soloists from the Ensemble intercontemporain and IRCAM offer 4 composers the opportunity to write a work for a solo musician and electronics. Beyond the exceptional artistic and educational qualities of the soloists from the Ensemble intercontemporain, the young composers selected will be able to take advantage of the expertise of IRCAM’s computer-music designers to finalize the electronic element of their work. The workshop will begin with a reading of each work that will then be re-worked by the young composers led by guest composers Ivan Fedele and Michael Jarrell, computer-music designers, and musicians before a week of rehearsals with the Ensemble intercontemporain’s soloists.

Composition Workshop: Orchestra and Orchestration
IRCAM is offering a new workshop on orchestration for 4 young composers, led by guest composers Michaël Levinas and Yan Maresz. The selected composers will write a short sketch for a full orchestra in addition to writing the orchestration for ensemble with or without electronics for a study of their choice (György Ligeti, Luciano Berio…). Each sketch for the full orchestra will be the subject of a short (1 ½ hour) reading by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under the baton of Pierre-André Valade.
Musicians from the Internationale Ensemble Modern Akademie will perform the orchestrations of studies (with or without electronics). During this brand-new workshop, students will be able to take advantage of work sessions with guest composers and the expertise of IRCAM’s computer-music designers in addition to following classes on computer-music.
Rendezvous: Reading Sessions for Full Orchestra, June 29, 30 l Final 2, July 2
Composition Workshop: In Vivo Electro
The choreographer and set designer, Christian Rizzo and the sonic artist, Scanner offer 4 young composers, musicians and sound designers to work on a sound stage design project, using a monolith that will generate images, light, and spatialization. Three scores conceived in parallel. How do they come together? How do they intersect or echo each other on a single stage? Participants will work on the electronic environment based on Frédéric Chopin and Erik Satie’s Nocturnes.
Rendezvous: In Vivo Electro, July 1
Computer-Music Class
This workshop is intended for composers, sound designers, sound engineers, computer-music designers, and musicologists who wish to improve their knowledge of computer tools for musical creation.
This three-week workshop will offer intensive, hands-on instruction divided in two parts. Firstly, the advanced aspects of programming Max will be addressed: the architecture of a patch and the analysis, synthesis, and processing of a sound in real-time. Secondly, the range of aspects of interaction between musician and computer as well as the relationship between a musical idea and the technologies used will continue to be developed in parallel to sessions dedicated to the analysis and listening of works with electronics by the academy’s guest composers. The subjects of computer-assisted composition with OpenMusic and sound analysis and processing with AudioSculpt will also be addressed.
