We report on a system that enables the synchronization of electroacoustic sounds with conductor gestures. This system was specifically used in the context of the music composition 'IDEA', for instrumental ensemble and live electronics. After a series of experiments and testing, the system was used in two public performances with two different condu...
In a concert performance of musique mixte (i.e., music combining electronics with acoustic instruments), the documentation accompanying the score is of great importance. But this information is often missing or, at best, incomplete. Moreover, there has never been a systematic study of this subject. For these reasons, we decided to examine the docum...
This chapter presents som compositional procedures developed by Asbjørn Schaathun for a generation of melodic material using canonic processes and for the calculation of rhythmic interpolations.
La durabilité des œuvres de musique avec dispositif électronique temps réel est une question cruciale aujourd'hui. Si l'on veut que les œuvres utilisant des technologies d’informatique musicale continuent à vivre, quelles pratiques doit-on mettre en œuvre en vue de préserver la possibilité de jouer ces œuvres dans les années futures, dans un contex...
IRCAM journée d'étude «Opéra français du XX e siècle» 15 janvier 2011 À ce jour, Philippe Manoury a composé quatre opéras, qui font tous appel aux moyens électro-acoustiques caractéristiques de la fin du 20 e siècle. On peut déjà les considérer non comme quatre oeuvres autonomes, mais comme un corpus, un cycle, une «tétralogie», y repérer des trait...
Après avoir passé plus de vingt ans à pratiquer professionnellement la réalisation en informatique musicale (d’abord à Sonvs en 1990 puis à l’Ircam, depuis 1992), j’ai ressenti la vive nécessité de prendre un peu de recul sur cette pratique.Je suis convaincu qu'il est temps de faire le point sur un métier (celui de réalisateur en informatique music...
We present interdisciplinary research undertaken for the development of an ‘augmented’ string quartet. Hardware and software components were especially designed to enable mixed acoustic/electronic music where bow gestures drive digital sound processes. Precisely, inertial motion sensors and a bow force sensor were added to each musician's bow, and...
Dans cet article, on considérera trois expériences récentes d'oeuvres auxquelles l'auteur a participé en tant que réalisateur en informatique musicale. Celles-ci ont en commun l'utilisation de dispositifs de captation du geste des instrumentistes à archets. Le développement de tels dispositifs de captation est un sujet qui mobilise actuellement, ma...
In this paper we present the augmented violin developed at IRCAM. This instrument is an acoustic violin with added sensing capabilities to measure the bow acceleration in realtime. We explain first the approach we developed to characterize bowing styles. Second, we describe the realtime implementation of the bowing style recognition system. Finally...
This paper deals with the first musical usage of an experimental system dedicated to the optical detection of the position of a trombone's slide.

With K…, Philippe Manoury has created a large-scale opera that effectively combines realtime electronics with operatic singers and full orchestra. The commitment to this process is due to the composer's belief that a realtime interactive system is the best method for integrating electronics and acoustic music without losing expressivity. This prese...
Score following is the synchronisation of a computer with a performer playing a known musical score. It now has a history of about twenty years as a research and musical topic, and is an ongoing project at Ircam. We present an overview of existing and historical score following systems, followed by fundamental definitions and terminology, and consi...
Résumé Chroma est l'environnement d'aide à la composition et de contrôle de la synthèse développé par Marco Stroppa depuis 1980 pour la réalisation de ses pièces. Nous décrivons dans cet article l'intégration et les nouvelles extensions du système Chroma dans l'environnement OpenMusic. Nos principaux buts sont : la mise à disposition de l'environne...
The paper presents a method to synthesize a choir in real-time and its application in the framework of an opera production. It intentionally integrates artistic considerations with research and engineering matters, thus giving a complete picture of a concrete collaboration in the context of the creation of electronic music. The synthesis of the "vi...

Dans le cadre des musiques mixtes, le suivi de partition apporte flexibilité et musicalité. Pourtant depuis les premières expériences de ce type menées à l'Ircam au milieu des années 1980, et bien que de nombreuses øeuvres aient été créées, il semble que l'on utilise toujours les mêmes stratégies. Nous effectuons un bilan préalable à l'élaboration...
We will describe the use of the antescofo score follower [1,2] in the context of the production of Otemo for solo vibraphone and electronics. During the research and production periods preceding the realization phase of this piece, we have influenced the development of this piece of software by a close interaction with the developer. We have intens...
