Artistic Research Residency

Edit






Call for Applications from March 1, to April 1, 2022
Edit






This program offers artists from all disciplines the opportunity to collaborate with one or more IRCAM research teams, within the framework of a residency of 2 to 6 months, which may be extended in a partner center. These residencies aim to expand the field of music through the contribution of science and technology.

The benefits of the residency for the artists are multiple:

  • Take time to reflect on your artistic practice
  • Work with researchers to explore a new artistic research approach
  •  Develop or perfect an innovative creative tool
  • Conduct experimental artistic research
  • Produce a prototype of an artifact
  • Compose a sketch for a work or performance
  • Test a configuration, an immersive audio/video device

Winners are selected by the members of our international jury.

Composers, researchers, sound artists, etc. can apply.

Call for Applications 2022: Artistic Residency Themes

In 2022, our research teams propose that future residents work on one of the following three themes:

  • Modification or augmentation of acoustic instrument capacities by incorporating the chain "sensors->processing->actuators", with the  Systems and sound signals: Audio/acoustics, instruments team
    The team is interested in projects combining artistic (paradigm, concept, or imagined embodiment), technological (type of transducers and processing platform) and scientific (method) research to be developed in order to achieve targeted behaviors on one or several instruments.

  • Learning to move: from the exploration of sound spaces to the mastery of the performative gesture with the Interaction sound music movement team
    The team develops interactive sound systems where the movements of the artists and/or the public are used to explore sound spaces. In these interactions, movements and perception are modified, and the researchers are increasingly exploring these new modifications of interaction modes, as far as mastering the control of sound synthesis. These mechanisms are based on numerous scientific, artistic, and design questions.

  • Co-creative interactions and mixed musical reality with the Musical Representations team
    The aim is to model—dynamically—musical intelligence and to propose creative tools for co-creative interaction, whether improvised or written, abstract or grounded in an augmented physical reality.

Apply

Call for Applications 2022: How can artists apply?

The calls for projects are published on the Ircam and Ulysses network websites. The themes that we have determined are obviously indicated, in connection with the major research issues at Ircam. The artists are asked to send us their project, accompanied by a CV, some administrative information and extracts from works already written - all in electronic format. A selection committee evaluates the projects and makes a shortlist. This short list is then discussed with the teams concerned. Depending on the year, between 2 and 6 residencies can be launched.

What do you look for in the applicants' projects?

Firstly, their artistic quality and the quality of the ideas proposed. Secondly, the potential of a project to help our scientific teams to progress within the context of their own research. For example, the director Judith Deschamps proposed a project on the synthesis and transformation of the sung voice, which allows us to work on deep learning, to extend a project on the synthesis of Farinelli's voice, initiated for the film of the same name, and to continue the research initiated by the composer Marta Gentilucci within the framework of her own artistic residency on the synthesis and treatment of the voice over the last few years. In this way, a form of continuity is sought within the framework of the artistic residencies in order to take advantage of the knowledge already acquired and extend it.

Once selected, what do the residents receive?

To start with, they are paid for the duration of the project. Then, they have access to Ircam's infrastructure as well as to its network and relations. A meeting at the beginning of the project allows us to assess the needs in terms of studio time, musicians, interaction with the research teams and other service providers or partners (luthier, etc.), and to plan an initial schedule (the studio sessions are often spaced out over time, in order to give each person time to assimilate the information, or for the machines to do their work) which can evolve over time.

The reputation of Ircam and the visibility offered by the institute also make these research residencies a real springboard for artists.

Finally, we encourage artists to make a public presentation at the end of their residency, in the form of a demonstration, a conference, or a piece of work. Everything is possible.
