NEW INSTRUMENTS WEEKEND
During the last thirty years, electronic instruments have become more and more important in the exploration of new sounds. Advances in computers and electronic sensors have opened new fields of investigation for creativity. It is the relationship between man and machine which is traced out in the evolution of instruments. However, unbeknownst to the general public, the development of these new instruments relies primarily on new forms of discretisation - in other words, the representation of sound phenomena analysis. Fruits of this analysis, new 'descriptors' can be manipulated by the most visible aspect of new instruments : the controllers. These control systems adapt to the gestures and expressive needs of the performer. To explore this double-edged theme, IRCAM is collaborating with CNRS - Image et Science, to organise a weekend during which the general public will be able to see and listen to musical creations and demonstrations of new instruments. Musicians, scientists, and instrument-makers will debate, make presentations, and meet with the public during conference-demonstrations, concert workshops, and "open-door" visits to IRCAM's laboratories. |

ew technologies and materials have always had an impact on the invention of musical instruments. Since the development of the Theremin in 1920, and even at the end of the 19th century with the advent of electricity, many attempts have been made to create an electronic instrument workshop distinct from traditional instrument methods. |
