Lecture

Exploring polyphony and space in acousmatic, mixed and instrumental music.
The session includes an overview of spatial listening, acousmatic techniques, and the role of gestural perception, concluding with insights into the speaker’s own compositional strategies for achieving spatial polyphony. Special attention is given to the theoretical and practical contributions of Annette Vande Gorne, whose work remains foundational in the field.

The concept of Volumiphony

The 3rd age of multichannel diffusion research focuses on the design of so-called primary forest spaces. In order to specify a terminology that would better define the spaciotemporal metric of sound masses and the geodesic path of each of them in its curved space-time, the term volumiphony seems the most appropriate to define 3D multichannel diffusion.

Having been a futuristic bruitism, atypical composer of electronic music, Jean VOGUET pursuing research into the notions of Acousmatic Geophonies & Heterotopias and has always focused on how his works are presented in each environmental & immersivity context. His work on " sound spaces of otherness ", which means the virtual ecosystem in complex structures (the sound materials created by sound synthesis, not originating from organic sound) generate an initiatory musical wandering - outside of time and outside the border - within the unlimited and temporary dimension. Many of his compositions such as « l’Odyssée », « instants sonores », concerts with aircrafts and tractors, have been induced by his concern with the great myths of humanity and poetic nature of human-beings. In addition to performing in various events of acousmatic music, he has performed in live electronic performances, multimediale events … in numerous festivals and international events. He was the co-artistic director of the VIA Festival in Paris (1993-2002) and he co-founded the PAN Network (1994-2003). He is the director of the CRANE lab - Research Center - for heterotopia, acousmatic music, ethics of art & regeneration since 1995.
