On his return to Paris in 1973, he co-founded the Ensemble L'Itin&eacute;raire, which quickly gained wide recognition for its fundamental research into instrumental playing and electronics. In the 1980s, Tristan Murail deepened his research into the analysis and synthesis of acoustic phenomena. He worked with IRCAM, where he taught composition from 1991 to 1997, and helped design the Patchwork composition aid program.</p> <p>In 1997, Tristan Murail was appointed professor of composition at Columbia University in New York, where he taught until 2010.
