Apart from concerts, a selection of sound installations will be presented in the studios and public areas of IRCAM, some of them using real time interaction technology or virtual reality devices.

Presentation stands for laboratories, companies and educational establishments active in the field of music technology.

Twice-yearly meeting with Ircam’s developers and research teams: presentations of all the latest versions as well as their intended evolution. A great opportunity for the public to share their opinions, suggest improvements and forge new collaborations. A "technological overview" is proposed by the magazine Keyboards/Home Studio.

This Second Symposium on Sound Design will provide a platform to players in every sound design category in order to exchange a multitude of sound design knowledge, practices and habits, and thus bring out the various contributions of sound design in everyday life, which concern our sound environment as well as our reflection on sound.
