From June 15 to 27, 2026, Ircam is offering a composition workshop for solo instruments and electronics led by Sivan Eldar, with three musicians from the Ensemble intercontemporain and two Ircam computer music designers.
This workshop will explore the dialogue between, and orchestration of, instrumental and electronic sound in relation to text. Poems by Laura Vazquez, chosen with the participants, will serve as points of departure and as a fil rouge connecting the works of the six selected composers (the poems may be approached in the broadest sense: as inspiration, imagery, sound, or conceptual material). Together with three musicians from the Ensemble intercontemporain and two Ircam computer music designers, participants will create works for solo instrument and electronics, engaging with questions of embodied and disembodied sound, the interplay between semantic and instrumental gesture, spatial dramaturgy, and immersivity within the Ircam Espace de projection.
