Context 2: Background noise and soundtrack


Field recording constitutes an important means of sound collection for ethnomusicology. But the microphone does not capture that the desired source and, almost objectively, all the co-hints are found on the band. Far from being disturbing, They express something intimately linked to music. This session makes us understand that they also have their own life.

Collective creation, Creation from a graphic partition inspired by Estonian meditation (2023)


A sweet shades concert, Thought around a work by the Minimalist Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Simple harmonies are constantly transformed and take away, in a meditative spirit. His music supervises a baroque sonata, A solo of a British composer and an amazing graphic composition of Earle Brown, which uses the spatiality of the page and which leaves great freedom of interpretation.

Fleas (2017) for vibraphone and multiple bells played by the public


Vibraphonic trip and culmination of more than ten years of work with the instrument, Fleas explores the acoustic corners and corners of the initially unpleasant sound of the instrument. The vibraphone is joined by a choir of small recovered bells, played by the public, producing rich resonances, Scintillating harmonies and soft ripples.

With six flutes, Six oboe, Six trumpets, trombone, tuba, Solo and reciting piano, The central work of this concert - born from the hand of Galina Ustvolskaya - makes the walls tremble: by clusters of instruments, with immutable rhythms and extreme dynamics, Writing combines power of gesture and deep poetry. Counterpoint, Two works take us on less rugged paths and, Where one explores the limits of sound and silence (Cox), the other is interested in sound combinations sometimes rich and sometimes dry, On jerky rhythms.

Thomas Ankersmit / Ivan Tcherepnin

Acous conversation (my) tick #4


*Happy University!*

Thomas Ankersmit: Performance for synthesizer Serge

Ivan Tcherepnin: Santur Opera (Extracts)


Virtuoso of Modular Synthesizer Serge until it makes a tool for creating concrete music with artificially organic sounds, Thomas Ankersmit thus pushes the limits of this instrument by continuing his first experimental vocation, To the point of surprisingly serge tcherepnin, its creator. Without any other artifice than the requirement of a purely electronic material whose electricity can become breath, His new creation explores new fields of abstraction and psychoacoustics. A way of paying tribute to this newly fifty -year -old instrument, Family celebrated with the Santur Opera of Ivan Tcherepnin. Among the first for Serge, This composition synchronizes the synthesizer and the Persian Santur in a sound and performative dialogue, produced by the same impulse.


Every evening at 10:30 p.m., The listening salon offers a concert that combines a sound creation and the resonance dissemination of historical pieces or curiosities escaped from the vast repertoire of electroacoustic music.
