LA FOLLE NUIT ACOUSMATIQUE #6

Portraits of Elzbieta SIKORA, Marta ŚNIADY, and Aurélio EDLER-COPES
Occitan Scenes: Carte Blanche to the Conservatory’s Electroacoustic Composition Class

An extraordinary immersion into the acousmatic musical universe of two leading figures in contemporary Polish music—composers Elzbieta Sikora and Marta Śniady—will intersect with the rich world of works by the Franco-Brazilian composer Aurélio Edler-Copes, the unique aesthetics of artists from Occitania presented by the Flashback ensemble from Perpignan, and a set conceived and performed on the acousmonium by students from the electroacoustic composition class at the Toulouse Conservatory (instructor: Guillaume Hermen). An exceptional evening.
