Daniel Teruggi: The Fifth Element (Sonic Acts XIII, 2010)

Positioning sound sources in space permitted new perspectives and conceptions of the effects space could exert on music. At the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) musique concrète evolved alongside the sound systems and carriers that were used to compose the music. This multiple approach has important implications for the composition of music, as well as for the tools and environments needed for it. Daniel Teruggi (AR) studied physics, composition and piano, and he was appointed director of the GRM in 1997. Teruggi compositions for fixed media (tape), small instrumental groups and tape, or real-time processing of instruments focus on the relationships between creation and technology, and on problems related to sound perception. This lecture was part of Sonic Acts XIII within a session called Architectures of Sound, in which the following questions were asked: How do composers work with spatial sound using arrays of loudspeakers? How is space constituted in music? How do we listen to the sound-space?
