GMEM and Radio Grenouille / Euphonia join forces for the Phonurgia Nova Awards, 29th edition!
International competition for radio and sound creation

1 day of meetings, 3 days of listening, 20 hours of creation, 47 sound proposals that reformulate the art of radio.

The Phonurgia Nova Awards are an observatory of emerging sound creation. Audacity, exploration, sound art and narrative innovation: from radio to podcasts, all the sound forms of the 21st century are on show!

Once a year, with the help of numerous European partners, they identify and honor authors who explore the real and the imaginary in sound. As in previous editions, the jury will deliberate in public and in the presence of the authors during a 3-day listening marathon, during which all the works (or extracts) in the 2024 selection will be broadcast, and the prizes and creative residencies will be awarded.

Prior to this, a day of professional meetings for those involved in sound and radio creation, open to all...

Evening tribute to Yann Paranthoën | 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Screening of Pilar Arcila's film "Au fil du son, un portrait de Yann Paranthoën".
Mille et Une Films, 2007

In a tribute to Yann Paranthoën at Angoulême, comic artist and scriptwriter Emmanuel Guibert described him as a "sound filmmaker". 
"He's neither a noise-maker, nor an archivist, nor a composer, but probably all of these at once," says Daniel Deshays.

In this film, Pilar Arcila takes us into the world of the "sound cutter", born on Île Grande in 1935 and died in 2005, the son of a Breton stonemason. The man with the Nagra (who records without headphones "to be one with the sounds") welcomes us to his home and the studio he built nearby.
It shows him at work, in his tireless tête-à-tête with sound. We are privy to the voice of this master of the tape recorder.
Patiently, he cuts and assembles fragments of magnetic tape, leaving us with the images to create. We follow him into the corridors of the Maison de la Radio, where thousands of sounds collected over the years lie dormant. He says he's as wary of the definition of documentary as he is of that of music. He explains how he combines the use of mono and stereo, and how he feels these two recording modes complement each other.
"I'm looking for colors that I can't name and yet on which almost everything depends." This phrase by Vincent Van Gogh had become like a motto for him, reports his partner, director Claude Giovannetti. Interrupting the flow of images, the filmmaker conveniently intersperses excerpts from her sound pieces, inviting us to explore his work with half-closed eyelids... "
