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.

Four evenings dedicated to the present situation in music technology, based on the main educational, technological and industrial issues. Organised in collaboration with the partners of Resonances 2004.

From the point of view of the instrumentalist or the musicologist, the question of interpretation is central to any discussion into music and the role of the performer. Whether in the hands of a Maestro or a "grande traditore", it has always been fundamental to the definition of musical aesthetics. Interpretation, it could be said, is what brings contemporary music to us.

At the heart of Ircam's musical and intellectual life, the Cursus program is a year-long training program, which welcomes ten young composers from diverse cultural and aesthetic backgrounds, bringing a fresh dynamism to the institution's musical reflection and research.
