Betreff: Call for papers: „Xenakis and Electro-acoustic Music,“
Université Paris 8, 23-25 May 2012
Call for papers for the symposium:
Xenakis’ electroacoustic music
Université Paris 8, E.A. 1572 Esthétique, musicologie, danse et
création musicale in collaboration with Cdmc, Grm, Cix, Ircam, Motus
23-25 may 2012
Xenakis’ electroacoustic works are relatively few in his whole
production, but they are very important. Indeed, most of them – from
Diamorphoses through to S.709: Concret PH, Bohor, Persepolis, Polytope
de Cluny, La Légende d’Eer, Mycènes alpha, Voyage absolu des Unari
vers Andromède, Gendy3… – punctuate the history of electroacoustic
music as masterpieces full of originality and innovation. Besides,
Xenakis worked both on musique concrète and with electronic music
techniques, covering both fields of what is called electroacoustic
music. Moreover, his polytopes, where technology plays a major role,
are pioneer realizations in the history of multimedia art.
As they are composed at important moments of Xenakis’ evolution, these
electroacoustic works can also be analyzed to understand the various
aspects of his musical, theoretical, aesthetic and interdisciplinary
thought: research on noise, granular theory, experimentations on
spatialization, inter-artistic realizations… It is also important to
notice the fact that these works have a strong relationship with his
instrumental music (for instance, there are many affinities between La
Légende d’Eer and the orchestral work Jonchaies).
This symposium wishes to gather researchers from all around the world
– well-known specialists of Xenakis’ music or young researchers –, to
analyze his electroacoustic music, focusing on topics such as:
-Xenakis and musique concrète
-Xenakis and electronic music
-relationship to other medias: polytopes, film music, music for ballet
-the granular paradigm-research on spatialization-relationship to
instrumental music
-UPIC
-GENDYN
-analytical approaches
-historical approaches
-aesthetic approaches
-posterity of Xenakis’ research: composers, technologies…
These topics are merely suggestions. The scientific committee will
examine all proposals.
Official languages: English, French
Concerts:
Concerts of Xenakis’ electroacoustic music will be held during the
