Digital tools
Aware of today's ever-evolving digital revolution, the Ensemble intercontemporain aims to develop resources accessible to a large audience, young people in particular, in order to share its extensive knowledge of the contemporary repertoire.
Modes de jeux
- What: a website
- For whom: young interpreters and composers
- When: from June 2024
- Where: online
The contemporary repertoire uses “extended” playing techniques, which allow musicians to explore their instrument in depth in order to find new sonorities. In order to encourage young composers and performers to become familiar with these particular modes of playing, the Ensemble intercontemporain wanted to develop a website to list them. Each technique is chosen, interpreted and commented on video by the soloists, under the supervision of composer and teacher Yan Maresz. This tool will allow young composers and performers to appropriate these new modes, identify their constraints and make the best use of the vast possibilities of their instruments.

Musiconautes
- What: a pedagogical digital app
- For whom: 8 to 12 year-old children
- When: from September 2024
- Where: on a tablet
Attentive to the challenges of digital mediation, the Ensemble intercontemporain seeks to develop interactive and fun digital tools to allow children aged 8 to 12 to appropriate contemporary music. This educational application is coordinated by the mediator and musicologist Clément Lebrun. It will be declined in different parts (listening, comparison, analysis) through three major works of the contemporary repertoire: the Concerto de chambre by György Ligeti (polyrhythm), Dialogue by l’ombre double by Pierre Boulez (spatialization) and Piano Phase by Steve Reich (repetition of a musical motif).
Our partners: Edu Up, Clément Lebrun
Program :
- Pierre Boulez, Dialogue de l’ombre double, for clarinet and tape
- Steve Reich, Marimba phase, for two marimbas
- György Ligeti, Concerto de chambre
