<p class="wys-highlighted-paragraph"><strong>Call for Applications open from June 28 to December 5, 2023<br /><span>Public composers</span></strong> (under 37 years old)<br /><a href="https://ulysses-network.eu/competitions/cursus-2024-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Informations and applications on the ULYSSES website</a></p> <p>The IRCAM Cursus is a unique computer music training program for young composers. Throughout the year, from October to September of the following year, students will acquire a solid technical autonomy and fluency in several computer programs, oriented towards artistic creation.</p> <p>Composers will follow courses on IRCAM&rsquo;s softwares for music composition (Max, OpenMusic, Modalys, TS2, Spat, etc.) in a wide-ranging and productive environment based on exchanges and encounters with researchers, programmers, sound engineers, computer-music designers, and composers working in our labs and studios as well as guest artists, in dialogue with the activities that are at the heart of our institute.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ircam.fr/transmission/formations-superieures/cursus/deroule/" class="wys-button">Cursus Syllabus</a></p> <p>Led by the composer associated with the Cursus, <a href="https://www.ircam.fr/article/3-questions-a-pierre-jodlowski" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pierre Jodlowski</a>, the training also opens the way to an interdisciplinary perspective to composition and features a hands-on approach in studio and collective workshops around image, movement, text and improvisation. Students are encouraged to develop a personal research around these practices, in order to extend their dialogue with other artistic fields. The Cursus is meant to include all practices and approaches that foresee the use of technological medium.</p> <p>In order to validate the skills acquired throughout the program, during the workshops taking place at the end of each unit, students present their mini projects. These are also meant as preparatory steps towards the production of their final project, which will be presented during the IRCAM season program in September 2024.</p> <p><img src="/media/uploads/lignejaune-100x2.png" alt="" width="100" height="3" /><br /> <br />Through a partnership with the <a href="https://www.conservatoiredeparis.fr/fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Conservatoire sup&eacute;rieur de musique et de danse de Paris</a> (CNSMDP), the <a href="https://www.hesge.ch/hem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Haute &Eacute;cole de musique de Gen&egrave;ve</a> (HEM), the <a href="https://www.hear.fr/musique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Acad&eacute;mie sup&eacute;rieure de musique de Strasbourg-HEAR</a>, the <a href="http://www.cnsmd-lyon.fr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Conservatoire national sup&eacute;rieur de musique et de danse de Lyon</a> (CNSMDL) and the <a href="https://www.pspbb.fr/fr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">P&ocirc;le sup&eacute;rieur d&rsquo;enseignement artistique Paris Boulogne-Billancourt</a> (PSPBB), students enrolled in a Master&rsquo;s degree in composition in one of these establishments can follow the first year of their degree in IRCAM&rsquo;s Cursus program.</p> <p>IRCAM is a partner of the <a href="https://www.citedesartsparis.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cit&eacute; internationale des arts</a> for the residencies of the composers of the Cursus.
