<blockquote> <p>In 2016, the Cursus 2 year was abolished, making way for a longer and fuller Cursus program over one year.</p> </blockquote> <p>From 2007 through 2015, IRCAM offered two training programs in composition and computer music organized in 2 years: Cursus 1 (first year) and Cursus 2 (second year). At the end of Cursus 1, 3-5 composers were selected to complete an artistic project for a small instrumental or vocal ensemble with electronics. A partnership with <a href="http://www.lefresnoy.net/en" target="_blank">Le Fresnoy</a> made it possible to implement projects with a visual component, presented as an installation or performance.</p> <p>The objective of this second year of training was to let young composers improve the knowledge and skills acquired during the first year and use them in a creative project that was more ambitious than during Cursus 1 (short sketch carried out at the end of the year for an instrument and electronics). Each project looked deeper into a musical and technological issue, working closely with the IRCAM research teams. The works by Cursus 2 composers were included in IRCAM&rsquo;s musical season, making it possible for these composers to take full advantage of the institute&rsquo;s production and diffusion means. This year of training was imagined as a year for professionalization.</p> <p>Following an individualized accompaniment over several months dedicated to expanding the knowledge and skills necessary for the preparation and realization of a creative project, the year was entirely focused on writing and the production of projects, led by the team of specialized professors/computer-music designers (&Eacute;ric Daubresse, Marco Liuni, Jean Lochard, Gr&eacute;goire Lorieux, Mikhail Malt, Lorenzo Pagliei) and by H&egrave;ctor Parra, composer associated with the Cursus program.</p>
