Sébastien Roux
composer, sound artist

Sébastien Roux (b. 1977) composes experimental music, which he presents in the form of recordings, listening sessions, sound installations and radio works. He works around questions of listening, sound space and composition within formal constraints. Since 2011, he has been developing an approach based on the principle of sound translation, which consists of using a pre-existing work (visual, musical, literary) as a score for a new sound piece. for a new sound piece. This process has given rise to "Quatuor", based on Beethoven's 10th Quartet, and "Nouvelle", a radio play based on Flaubert's "La légende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier". The most recent development in this translation process is "Inevitable Music", whose approach aims to use the rules and techniques of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings for sound purposes. In parallel, Roux regularly collaborates with artists from different different disciplines. He works with author Célia Houdart and set designer Olivier Vadrot on transdisciplinary and site-specific projects. He has also created the sound environment for several choreographic pieces by DD Dorvillier, Sylvain Prunenec and Rémy Héritier. He has received commissions and residencies from EMPAC (USA), Deutschland-radio Kultur, WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie), RSR (Radio Suisse Romande), GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales), Scène Nationale de Montbéliard, La Muse en Circuit - Centre National de Création Musicale, CESARE and gmem-CNCM-marseille. He was laureate of the Villa Médicis hors-les-murs (USA, 2012) and of La Muse en Circuit's radio art competition. He was a resident at the Villa Médicis in Rome for the 2015-2016 season.

Jean-Claude Risset
musician, researcher, composer

Jean-Claude Risset is both a musician and a researcher in acoustic physics. After solid training as a pianist with Robert Trimaille (a pupil of Alfred Cortot), who inspired him to embark on a career as a pianist, he discovered composition between 1961 and 1964: André Jolivet encouraged him to study composition with Suzanne Demarquez. At the same time, as a student at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, he was awarded the agrégation in physics in 1961 and the Docteur d'Etat en Sciences Physiques in 1967. He then embarked on a scientific career in the field of electronics. A pioneer in computer music, as evidenced by his work on sound synthesis and psychoacoustics, notably during his stays at Bell Laboratories, he quickly acquired international renown. He worked in scientific research at the CNRS, at Pierre Grivet's Institut Électronique Fondamentale from 1961 to 1971, and at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey (USA), with Max Mathews and John Pierce between 1964-1965 and 1967-1969, during which time he developed work on computer sound synthesis and its musical applications (in particular the simulation of instrumental sounds), sound illusions and musical paradoxes), at Orsay (1970-1971), then, from 1972 onwards, at the Marseille-Luminy University Center, at Ircam from 1975 to 1979, and finally at the LMA (Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique) of the CNRS in Marseille, where he remains Director of Research Emeritus. He has been invited to many countries and institutions for scientific and musical research, including Stanford's CCRMA (with his musician-researcher counterpart John Chowning), Dartmouth College's electronic studio (with Jon Appleton), and MIT's Media Lab (USA) for his work on the Yamaha Disklavier piano. Jean-Claude Risset was lecturer in music at the University of Aix-Marseille between 1971 and 1975, then professor between 1979 and 1985, director of Ircam's "computer" department between 1975 and 1979, then responsible between 1993 and 1999 for the national DEA "Acoustics, signal processing and computer science applied to music", taught at Ircam jointly by the Université de la Méditerranée and the Université de Paris VI. His scientific research constantly feeds into his work as a musician, and vice versa. His catalog of musical works, comprising over seventy pieces, includes some fifteen works for "sounds fixed on a support", i.e. electronic music produced at Bell Laboratoires, Ircam, LMA-CNRS, or acousmatic music produced at Ina-GRM, GMEM..., some twenty instrumental works and around thirty-five mixed works (some with live electronics), a category he particularly defends. These works give concrete expression to the idea of "composing sound itself", as well as composing with sound.

OphélieDorgans
sound artist

Sound artist, surveyor of third spaces, always on the lookout for incongruities that would upset our dualistic states of thought, which date back to the advent of Reason. Thanks to my use of multimedia and recycling, and the implementation of inflatable and floating installations, I approach this trialectic of space as perceived, conceived and experienced. My approach, sometimes collaborative, sometimes solitary, crosses several levels of reading, mixing historical, literary and mythological references, firmly anchored in the real and the imaginary. My essays inevitably emerge from the mediation of others, of the practitioners of the place that mobilizes me, and of the space itself, its climate, its gradient, its atmospheric pressure, its relief, its surface.

Loïse Bulot
sound and plastic artist

Loïse Bulot constructs a dreamlike universe through the visual arts and music. After studying piano and graphic arts in Paris, she continued her studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, then at the Conservatoire, where she won a prize for electroacoustic composition. Her acousmatic music has been performed at various festivals (France, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Canada), and she won the Luigi Russolo 2nd prize for electroacoustic composition in 2014, and the Banc d'essai (GRM) competition in 2015. She develops her work around various projects: drawing and comic strips, installations, electroacoustic and mixed compositions, participatory workshops.

Gaëtan Perseilhian
composer

Gaëtan Perseilhian is a composer of electroacoustic music and a researcher in the field of sound perception. In 2006, he founded Brane Project with three collaborators. Within this structure, he works on spatialization and composes or adapts several multi-track pieces. He developed his writing at the CRD in Pantin, then at the Cité de la Musique in Marseille, and performs his pieces on a variety of multicasting devices. He is a member of the Soma collective, which offers sound massages, and works with the Deletere collective. At the same time, he is a contract researcher at the CNRS- PRISM Laboratory, where his work focuses on sound perception, man-machine interfaces, spatialization techniques and the perception of sound in space.

Sarah Ouazzani
director
As a video director, I've become increasingly interested in the non-visible, the unspoken and the sonic, as a means of dialoguing with the unconscious. Time, slowness, displacement, myths, rituals, dreams and the elements are at the heart of my work, whether in the plastic arts or in sound.

Pascal Gobin
composer, teacher
Pascal Gobin currently teaches electroacoustic music at the CNRR in Marseille. At the same time, he pursues an artistic career in a variety of fields of sound expression. He is a composer of instrumental music, electroacoustic music (music for concert and performance - dance, theater - and music combining acoustic instruments and electronic processing). As an instrumentalist specializing in electronic instruments, he takes part in concerts of written and improvised music. He is co-founder of the Ricercar instrumental ensemble, now Studio Instrumental. He is also a guitarist, and as such plays in shows such as Studio Instrumental's "Attentifs ensemble", "le p'tit bal" with M. Atienzar, G. Appaix's "Non Seulement" (la Liseuse), and most of the shows of the Art de Vivre company. He collaborates closely with groups of artists, notably within companies (l'Art de Vivre, les Pas Perdus), working in fields other than music, on projects in which sound plays an important part (musical theater, radio productions, sound installations, performances). Particularly interested in the field of artistic invention (more specifically sound) with non-specialized people (amateurs), Pascal Gobin has carried out experimental work with a brass band, a choir and, for several years, with G-A Lagesse, sound and instrumental work with disabled people. He has also carried out research on music within the MIM group (Laboratoire Musique et Informatique de Marseille) and with G-A Lagesse (Les Pas perdus), more specifically on gestural interfaces linked to electronic instrumentarium and their connection with the artistic production of people with reduced mobility, in collaboration with the LMA- S2M (CNRS Marseille). He has published a number of articles following lectures given at conferences (Paris ICMS 1994, New York ICMS 1996, Marseille MIM 1996, Revue Leonoardo 1999, Barcelona 2001). For several years, most of his musical activity has been developed within the Art de Vivre company (music for the company's shows, musical creation workshops for amateurs, artistic co-direction with Y. Fravega).

Maxime Barthélemy
composer

Maxime Barthélemy is committed to artistic freedom, with a particular focus on his work as an active composer in the field of musical creation and, more broadly, sound, and its possible relationships with other means of expression. An observer of the sensitive since his silent childhood, he developed his sense of hearing with Martín Matalón, Denis Dufour & Salvatore Sciarrino. His works emanate an assertive poetic radicalism, the reasonably pointless brushed aside. Committed beyond this posture, he teaches electroacoustic composition at the Cité de la Musique de Marseille, performs with the ensemble 20° dans le noir and collaborates with the publishing house ONA. - Festivals: Ars Musica, Multiphonies, GRM, L'espace du son, Futura, Mixtur (Barcelona), Détours de Babel, LEM, Audio Art Circus (Japan), Festival [-REC], La semaine du son, Digital Art Festival... - Venues: Auditorium Saint-Germain, MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art), Music Forum Taipei, Digital Art Center (Taiwan), Gaîté Lyrique, Théâtre du Rond-Point, Théâtre de la Commune, Théâtre Marni (Brussels), Colonnes de Buren, Friche La Belle de Mai (Marseille), Copenhagen... - Acousmoniums & devices: Motus, GRM, Musiques & Recherches, CIDMA, La Bétonneuse, 20° dans le noir, Sagittaire, Alcôme, sous//casques, Brane Project... - Ensembles: Vertixe Sonora, Sillages, Taller Sonoro... - Winner or finalist in competitions: Petites formes, Banc d'essai GRM, Prix Luigi Rossolo, Prix Pierre Schaeffer (Pho nurgia No va discovery), Musiques en Courts... - Broadcasts: France Musique (Electrain de Nuit), Radio Campus, Radio Grenouille, UNDÆ, WFMU (New York)... - Releases : Passage à Paris (Licences), Métamorphoses (M&R), Rien ni personne (Nostalgie de la boue)... - Supported by Sacem, Institut Français, Ministère de la Culture...
