Pierre Boulez, founder of Ircam, confronted his musical writing with that of electronics, first using magnetic tapes, then live electronics, and finally transforming sound in real time. An exhibition at the mediatheque documents some of the pieces with electronics that have marked his work, to be discovered from 13 May to 19 December.
The media library presents a selection of its new acquisitions, and invites you to discover the summary of 2024 acquisitions.
The purpose of the documentation center is to build up and disseminate a body of references on contemporary music, on the relationship between art, science and technology, and on musical research. It also brings together all of the Institute's knowledge and creative resources: concert and conference archives, scores, scientific and popular articles, etc. All these resources are available to the public through the Ircam media library (open Tuesday to Friday, 2:00 to 5:30 pm) and the databases accessible through the portal.
La médiathèque de l'Ircam est ouverte au public du mardi au vendredi, de 14h à 17h30. La consultation est ouverte à tout le monde, l'emprunt est soumis à abonnement.
