About Grame Studio:

Studio Grame (National Theater of Electroacoustic Music) was founded in 1982 by Pierre-Alain Jaffrenou and James Girudon. Currently, along with seven similar organizations, it is part of the system of national centers for music education, established by the French Ministry of Culture in 1997. The organization’s goal is to create a kind of ecosystem in which musical and interdisciplinary works, fundamental and applied research, pedagogy and mass communication will coexist and complement each other.

Grame is a meeting place and creative space for composers, performers, researchers and various creative teams. Here they find high-tech equipment and the support of art assistants and technical specialists. All Grame’s creative activities are based on the close relationship between art and science, with computer technology playing an important role. There is a scientific department in the center, whose specialists conduct research in three main areas: real-time data transmission systems, systems for displaying and performing musical works, and programming languages.

Grame Studio produces the Biennale Musiques en Scène, which has become one of the most important musical events in France and Europe. The organization is actively educating, intensively developing international cooperation. The center’s projects are popularized and the knowledge accumulated by it is disseminated in the form of concert tours, master classes, lectures and exhibitions, primarily in Europe, Asia and North America.
