Ina-GRM (Institut National de l'Audiovisual - Groupe de Recherches
Musicales) in Paris is a pioneering organization
for musique concrete, acousmatic and electro-acoustic music, whose
history dates back to the '50s, when it was founded by
Pierre Schaeffer. Always engaged in the development of creative
activity, research, preservation and dissemination in
field of music and recorded sound, the GRM is an experimental laboratory unique in the world. In response to
expectations and needs of musicians, composers and sound designers, it
is highly specialized in the development of a
range of innovative tools to treat and represent the sound: the
GRM Tools and the
Acousmographe. The activities of music creation and
production are mainly grouped at Studio 116 in the
Maison de la Radio in Paris.
Grm Tools Workshop
Up to 10 participants.
Bring your own laptop and headphones.
The workshop is free and is held in Italian by Emmanuel
Favreau along with Francois Bonnet. During the seminar, after outlining a brief history, Emmanuel Favreau will explore the possibilities of digital sound processing with the latest
Tools developed by GRM; he will also deal with issues related on how to interact with the musician.
These notions
will be illustrated by demonstrations in real time and musical examples from the repertory of electroacoustic music.
After the workshop Francois Bonnet will present the lecture 'Music and sound in space, an introduction to multichannel compositions'. The meeting is open to
public, and will present the research activities of the Centre in Paris plays through spatialized listening sessions and projections.
OnMedia is focused - from September 2011 and throughout 2012 - in

art and technology, a series of workshops on subversive listening, presentation of international visual artists and authors who use different media and languages, concerts and performances.
