Musiques-Fictions writing and composition residency at the Camargo Foundation
Ircam organizes Musiques-Fictions, acollection launched in 2020
A program where musical creation is in direct contact with literary fiction, a cinema for the ear where oral literature and the pleasure of collective listening are reinvented.
Giving musical writing its rightful place and text its rightful intelligibility: Musiques-Fictions aims to renew the genre of radio fiction, the Hörspiel, by going beyond the simple sound illustration of narrative or dialogue, when the image no longer acts as a screen.
Pairs of writers and composers combine an adapted and signed text, an electroacoustic musical creation and an immersive sound projection in Ircam's projection space, the 49-speaker ambisonic dome.

Christian Sebille proposes a project with Olivia Rosenthal.
Olivia Rosenthal writes a text and Christian Sebille composes music (in real time?) on the theme of the evolution of the automobile in relation to the evolution of society.

Christian Sebille is a composer and artistic director of the GMEM in Marseille. He works on the realization of sound installations in situ, in particular within the framework of a series entitled Miniatures. The place of sound capture is linked to the place of its diffusion in a ratio of space compression (reduction of the diffusion space in relation to the capture space) and temporal reduction (ratio of capture time / diffusion time). Moreover, he works on the concrete sound and on the capacity of the material to be in itself its own diffuser (the instrumental object). The radiation of the material and the movement of the object (sound) play with each other.
