"In his talk, “The New Stakes of Musique Concrète,” François J. Bonnet will examine the historical development of the concept of musique concrète in order to highlight contemporary stakes in musical composition and in the very conception of music itself.
François J. Bonnet is a Franco-Swiss composer, writer and theorist based in Paris. He’s the Director of French Musical Research Institution INA GRM since 2018. He has published several books: The Music To Come (Sheler Press), The Order of Sounds, The Infra-World and After Death (Urbanomic). He also produces radio shows for National Radio France Musique and he’s coeditor of the SPECTRES publication (Shelter Press). His music, often released under the Kassel Jaeger project name, has been presented worldwide."
