The GMEM's spaces, network of skills and facilities enable us to support a wide range of artistic teams.
Composers, instrumental ensembles, sound artists, electronic musicians...: the GMEM welcomes musical creation in the extreme diversity of its aesthetics.
Open to experimental and hybrid forms, artistic residencies are dedicated to conception, development and production.
All stages of creative work are involved: composition, recording, rehearsal, scenography, creation of mechanical, electronic, video or digital devices...
