Michel Chion, Lionel Marchetti and Jerome Noetinger will present their new musique concrète composition Filarium. Originally commissioned by Musique Action 2014, this piece will be played through a surround system consisting of 16 loudspeakers while the audience is seated in complete darkness – A unique opportunity for an immersive aural experience.
Composer of musique concrete, Chion has created to date forty works for fixed sounds on audio support – some large, including a Requiem, several “melodrama”, suites , symphonies, etc… In 1970, he invented his own techniques (“impeded scroll”, “pencil”) to use creatively the tape recorder, which – combined or not with the computer – remains its preferred tool. Michel Chion is also a filmmaker, an associate professor at the Université de Paris, and a prolific writer on film, sound, and music.
