Hervé Birolini 
Composition, spatialization 
Hervé Birolini studied at the European Center for Musical Research (CERM) in Metz in the electroacoustics program from 1990 to 1993. After earning a DESS in audiovisual studies and eight years of occasional collaborations with the GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales of the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel) in the “concert” team, he became a freelance composer. Since then, Hervé Birolini has explored all areas of sound. Essentially electronic, his music is developed from real, concrete, or instrumental materials, but also from sound objects produced by computer-based instrument design—a process that is personalized and constantly reinventing itself. 
For nearly 20 years, he has performed in shows where the scenography he designs and creates is an inseparable element of the sound, bringing his pieces into the realm of transdisciplinarity. His music encompasses electronic, concrete, experimental, and contemporary music in their broadest sense. Since 2020, he has devoted himself to a primal element: electrical energy. In the “Energy Cycle,” which to date consists of the works *Des éclairs*, *Tesla*, *De courants*, *Des éclats*, and *Des possibles*, heunleashes the sonic power of this energy and makes it visible. His productions have been presented at numerous festivals in France and abroad. His pieces have won national and international awards.
