• [hal-05484442] Beyond the soundscape : toward posthuman ecologies in Artistic Research

  29 janvier, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Schuh Diane), Schuh Diane
  Drawing on Barbanti’s sonic ecosophy (2023) and the post-anthropocentric ethics articulated by Haraway (2016) and Barad (2007), this article advances an Artistic Research (AR) framework in which composition is conceived as an ecosystemic negotiation between human, organic and machine agencies. How can AR, integrated with Science and Technology Studies (STS), operationalise a post-human sound ecology by making the chains through which non-human agencies become audible both effective and accountable? Grounded in methodological outcomes from the author’s own practice, the discussion unfolds through three case studies: Mycelium Garden (co-composition with fungal bio-electric activity, 2023-2025), L’Art de l’Attention: Symbioses (improvisation with garden bioacoustics, 2023) and SOIL (sensor-based listening to subterranean ecologies, 2025). These dispositifs (defined as operational assemblages of instruments, protocols and relations among human, organic and machine agents) exemplify a technocritical yet nontechnophobic stance: sensors, systems and machine tools reveal otherwise inaudible strata of the living, while remaining culturally situated interfaces whose parameter choices condition perception. The article shows that the integrated AR+STS methodology contributes in four ways. First, it produces embodied, situated knowledge where making and theorising are mutually generative rather than sequential (Citton 2018; Le Moigne 2021). Second, it dissolves dualisms between nature/technology and art/science by staging hybrid ecologies in which every agent’s agency is contingent and negotiated (Di Scipio 2004). Third, it exposes the microperformativity of non-human actors - mycelial currents, soil vibrations, algorithmic decisions - thereby extending musical form beyond human intentionality (Hauser & Strecker 2020). Finally, it mobilises listening as a transformative practice of attentional cohabitation that reconfigures both compositional methods and ecological imaginaries (Ingold 2000; Solomos 2023). We argue that AR furnishes a rigorous yet open epistemology capable of generating new ecological knowledge and reframing sound not as a landscape to be represented but as a living milieu to be co-composed.

• [hal-05477043] L’électronique selon Pierre Boulez : retour sur cinquante ans d’expérimentation

  26 janvier, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (François-Xavier Féron), François-Xavier Féron
  Curieux de découvrir les nouvelles possibilités de réalisation en studio, Pierre Boulez entre en contact avec Pierre Schaeffer, le père de la musique concrète, et suit, en 1951, un stage au sein du Groupe de recherche de musique concrète (GRMC) à Paris. Après avoir réalisé trois oeuvres sur bande entre 1951 et 1955, il se tourne vers le studio de la WDR à Baden-Baden puis l’Experimentalstudio der Heinrich-Strobel-Stiftung à Fribourg-en-Brisgau pour amorcer ses investigations autour de l’électronique en temps réel, approche qu’il développera alors au sein de l’Ircam. Au cours de cette communication, nous dresserons un panorama des oeuvres pour bande et des oeuvres mixtes qui ont jalonné, tout au long de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, le parcours de Boulez.

• [hal-05427615] Solidian Soundscapes : Artistic Research on Spatial Quality of Sound in Soil

  20 décembre 2025, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Paul Goutmann), Paul Goutmann
  This contribution presents the research-creation project SOIL (Soil Obser-vation through musical Interaction and Listening), which investigates soil as a sonic and compositional medium. Drawing on ecoacoustics, sound ecology, landscape studies, and music technology, the project proposes to develop new listening devices and compositional strategies that foreground the vibratory and spatial properties of soil. Conducted in urban gardens in Saint-Denis (France) and New York (USA), with a future opening towards other landscapes such as glaciers, the project is rooted in collaborative prac-tices with musicians (the Longleash trio) and different audiences, in order to foster a shared and sensitive attention to urban soils. Our hypothesis is that listening to and composing with soil allows us to challenge utilitarian and extractivist views (Henry, 2023; Bednik, 2016), and instead reveal its ecological, symbolic, and memorial dimensions (Selosse, 2022; Pierron, 2003). While building upon methodologies from ecoacoustics and passive acoustic monitoring (Maeder et al., 2019; Metcalf et al., 2024; Krause & Fa-rina, 2016), our project proposes a complementary approach grounded in qualitative, sensitive and spatial listening. By designing multichannel re-cording devices adapted to the specific vibratory qualities of the ground, we aim to open new possibilities for musical composition that engage both the material and symbolic poetics of soil. These experiments, documented online are tested during public events such as soundwalks and concerts. They aim to foster an attentive and situated perception of the underground environment, exploring how musical composition can mediate a sensitive relation to soil.

• [hal-05366343] The Accessible Digital Music Network : Starting, Scope, and Future Development

  14 novembre 2025, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Marcella Mandanici), Marcella Mandanici
  This paper presents the Accessible Digital Music Network (ADMN), a recently formed group of scholars, researchers, and practitioners. ADMN members are interested in the problem of how to encourage the widest possible participation in musical activities, including those who either lack specific training or are unable to make music with traditional instruments and methods. The meeting that gave birth to the network took place in Saint-Étienne (France) on May 29, 2024. ADMN subsequently organized an online meeting on December 3, the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The paper welcomes the contributions of the founders of the network and of the people who participated in the meeting, concluding with some hypotheses on future development.
