Théâtre Marni & Influx - Musiques & Recherches present "L'Espace du Son 2022" Music Festival in Brussels !
Starting tonight 7:30 PM until Sunday October 23 !
This 29th edition is special to us because we are celebrating 40 years of Musiques & Recherches.
For 40 years, many composers have taken turns in our studios: first in our analog studio (still in working order!) then in our digital studios which now allow to compose in hexadecaphony.
Two concerts honor this anniversary: on Saturday evening, an anthology of pieces composed in our studios and on Sunday evening, a tribute to the pioneers of acousmatics with François Bayle, Francis Dhomont and Annette Vande Gorne.
In addition, no less than five internationally renowned composers are invited to the festival this year. André Dion, Jean-Louis Poliart, Hans Tutschku, Denis Smalley and Elainie Lillios will take turns at the console to perform works from their repertoire, with several world premieres to boot. Three master classes, accessible free of charge, will also be held during the festival.
The Espace du Son opens on October 19, 2022 with the 12th final of the professional category of the Métamorphoses international acousmatic composition competition. Gilles Gobeil and Åke Parmerud present their winning pieces in the category of composers over 50 years old.
