From September 30 to October 3, 2022, a four-day event on interaction and sound design. Come and discover the sound innovations and technologies developed in IRCAM's research lab, shared with artistic and musical communities that make up the IRCAM Forum!

Controlled by Gaëtan Robillard and Dionysios Papanikolaou, the generation engine OM-Dicy2—developed by Jérôme Nika, a member of the Musical Representations team—was fed with 34 dialogues, made up of climatosceptic arguments and their refutations to produce hours and hours of sounds. …
