Partners Forum 2025 Workshops

Sponsors of the Mars 2025 Forum Workshops:

ALEA

The Italian association ALEA is one of the five sponsors of the Forum 2025 Workshops. ALEA is a non-profit association that seeks to promote music in all its possible artistic, historical and cultural contexts.

Through the organisation of concerts, courses and other educational activities, ALEA organises events focusing on the dissemination of minority languages, the rediscovery of forgotten composers, reflection on the role of the artist in the field of environmental sustainability, the maintenance of historic instruments and their repertoire, the removal of barriers of gender and ethnicity, and the promotion of intercultural dialogue and social inclusion.

It also supports young talent at the start of their careers through artistic collaborations and funding initiatives.  

CNM (Centre National de la Musique)

The Centre National de la Musique is seeking the essential balances to promote the harmonious development of all aspects of the music industry, in a constantly changing and increasingly globalised environment, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 30 October 2019, which calls for ongoing consultation with the entire sector.

Through its mission of observation, data collection and collaborative analysis, the CMN aims to enable the State to grasp and assess these developments, in order to draw the consequences in terms of its objectives for guiding public policy in favour of music. The CNM is also committed to developing tools to provide an in-depth understanding of the music economy and to implementing a support system tailored to the needs of professionals, based on the data collected.

Whether providing advice, support, training or financial assistance, the CNM's mission is to design its programmes taking into account the real-life trajectories of authors, composers and artists, as well as the diversity of the professions and institutions that surround them, with a constant desire to stimulate innovation.

SonicLAB

SonicLAB specialises in sound art, audio-visual software development and sound design. They create visual and immersive audio applications for a variety of platforms.

Their aim is to push back the boundaries of audio and sound design, adopting an innovative approach and constantly seeking new paradigms.

Haken Studio

Haken Studio specialises in expressive, polyphonic electronic music. Their flagship instrument: the Continuum Fingerboard is a polyphonic electronic instrument that offers continuous multi-dimensional performance control by responding to each finger independently. The ContinuuMini is a smaller, more affordable duotactic model based on the same technology. Inside is the EaganMatrix, a state-of-the-art, user-programmable digital modular synthesizer that takes full advantage of the countless performance possibilities of the flexible playing surface. For Eurorack users, the EaganMatrix module opens the door to unexplored musical worlds.

ContinuuCon

ContinuuCon is an international conference focusing on the Haken Continuum and the instruments that share its EaganMatrix synth engine, including the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, the ContinuuMini, the EaganMatrix Eurorack module and the Expressive E Osmose synthesizer.

ContinuuCon 2025 will be held in Paris at IRCAM.
