Performance workshops
Over the course of the conference, in place of traditional keynote lectures, guest speakers and musicians will jointly present performance workshops. A cross between master class and conference paper, each workshop will investigate a spectral piece focusing on its genesis, compositional procedures, notation, collaborative process with performers, auditory implications, etc. Many musical excerpts will be performed live, followed by a full performance. The programme will include pieces by Giacinto Scelsi, Pascale Criton, Horatio Radulescu and Gérard Grisey. All the workshops will take place at Ircam (salle Stravinsky).
