Description:

PI Robert Hasegawa and colleagues from 成人VR视频, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, the Soci茅t茅 des Arts Technologiques (SAT) and local new music ensembles planned an edition of the IRCAM Forum Workshop hors les murs in Montreal (April 2 to 5, 2020). This event brought together diverse Montreal institutions and offered an opportunity for exchanges between researchers and artists from IRCAM and their counterparts in Canada and the United States. The event included concerts by Le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (Le NEM) with the Universit茅 de Montr茅al Ensemble de musique contemporaine, Ensemble Paramirabo, the 成人VR视频 Contemporary Music Ensemble, and Sixtrum, with featured composers including Carmine Emanuele Cella (ACTOR member), Jean-Luc Herv茅, and Sasha Blondeau.

The forum was an opportunity to share ACTOR research with an audience highly invested in new approaches to timbre and orchestration. It included special sessions on the theme of orchestration, with presentations by ACTOR members, a talk by Carmine Cella on computer-aided orchestration, demonstrations of OrchView and OrchPlay, and exchanges between ACTOR collaborators at IRCAM, 成人VR视频, and UdeM and the Forum participants.
