His conducting career included leadership of major orchestras, leaving a lasting impact on music through his rigorous vision and creative audacity.
Max Workshop: Boulez Remake
Posté par: Gregoire Lorieux Il y a 1 semaine, 4 jours
How would Pierre Boulez compose with today’s tools? This creative workshop revisits his musical language using Max to reconstruct, manipulate, and transform motifs taken in Anthèmes 2 (1997), a piece for violin and electronics. Participants will develop interactive patches to experiment with live sound transformation, algorithmic processes, and dynamic control structures. The workshop fosters a creative dialogue between Boulez's modernist approaches and contemporary technological practices.
Max Workshop: Assisted Composition and Orchestration
Posté par: Gregoire Lorieux Il y a 1 semaine, 4 jours
This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the use of the Max environment as a tool for assisted composition and orchestration. The session will cover patching strategies for algorithmic generation of musical material, interactive orchestration. Participants will learn to build compositional systems that respond dynamically to musical parameters, bridging the gap between human intuition and machine assistance. Prior experience with Max is recommended; example patches will be provided to ensure all attendees can actively participate.
