  IRCAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IRCAM, Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique, was founded in the 1970s by Pierre Boulez.
Since its conception, IRCAM has been the birth place for some of the most important concepts for electronic music and audio processing.
Georgina Born wrote her Ph.D. thesis in anthropology about the IRCAM, which was later published under the title Rationalizing Culture: IRCAM, Boulez, and the Institutionalization of the Musical Avant-Garde.

 I Came, I Saw, IRCAM: A VISIT TO FRANCE'S PREMIER MUSIC TECHNOLOGY THINK TANK
IRCAM is indeed unique, something you could only find in France, where socialism intersects with capitalism, and fascination with the future intersects with pride in the past.
IRCAM was founded in the 1970s by the French government to promote research in music technology.
Another way that IRCAM is interfacing with the real world is through the Multimedia Library, or Mediatheque, a really impressive online index of musical works, recordings, articles, documentation, videos and Web sites, much of which (the text-based stuff, anyway) can be downloaded from anywhere, and all of which physically resides in their building.

 [No title]
IRCAM is located in Paris and was founded and initially led by the highly regarded composer/conductor Pierre Boulez.
In Born's analysis, the stress of these multiple areas of conflict upon workers within IRCAM is dealt with by the psychoanalytic concept of "splitting," an unconscious process considered by Melanie Klein to be one of the most primitive defenses against anxiety.
In one case involving an IRCAM brand of postmodernism, Born has done just that (pp.300-04); however in Born's book, these broad aesthetic terms suffer from equivocation or lack of contrast because the various "dialects" of these aesthetic positions are either not systematically defined, referred to, or related to one another.

Harvey has had several residencies at IRCAM, and the influence of the techniques he has learned and utilized there could be heard both directly, in the case of works featuring electronics, like Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco and Tombeau de Messiaen, and indirectly, in the case of works like The Riot and Nataraja.
However, it is in the way they are subsequently enabled to implement this knowledge in their creative work and in the collaboration with the programmers and engineers that the primary contribution of IRCAM to contemporary musical composition lies.
The electronics, brilliantly managed throughout the concert by IRCAM's Eric Daubresse and David Poissonier, need subtle balancing since the soundfiles, triggered by the pianists on MIDI keyboards, must often fuse with the dense textures in the percussion or piano parts.

The goal of the Spatialisateur project, conducted by Ircam and Espaces Nouveaux in collaboration with the Centre National d'Etudes des Telecommunications, is to design a virtual acoustics processor allowing composers, performers or sound engineers to control the diffusion of sound in a real or virtual space.
This project incorporates research carried out within the Ircam room acoustics laboratory on the objective and perceptual characterization of room acoustical quality, and research done at Telecom Paris on digital signal processing algorithms for the spatialization and artificial reverberation of sounds.
Although the HRTFs must be accurately modelled by digital filters in order to convey the direction of incidence of the direct sound, the efficiency of the binaural room effect simulation can be significantly improved by simplifying the directional processing for early reflections and reverberation, with hardly any audible difference [3].

 The Ensemble Sospeso - IRCAM Concert Review
Throughout the past two decades, the IRCAM in Paris has been an expanding forum for collaboration, exchange and innovation, and a trigger for a broad range of applications of technology and music.
But it is in the way they are subsequently enabled to implement this acquired knowledge in their creative work and in the collaboration with the programmers and engineers—the musical assistants—that the primary contribution of IRCAM to contemporary musical composition lies.
Conducting these pieces involves the very tricky coordination between the time scale of the triggered electronics and that of the ensemble as well as balance issues that are handled in close collaboration with the musical assistants and sound engineers.

 ArtsElectric Resonances
Resonances is an event that IRCAM, a major institute in Paris, has organized during the past two or three years in the fall.
But beyond this personal interest, three other things changed at IRCAM during this period: The Forum IRCAM I created in 1993 was growing well beyond what we expected, IRCAM research activities had developed a lot of international collaborations in Europe, and IRCAM student concerts became a high-interest activity.
But exploring this emerging multi-disciplinary field is today impossible for IRCAM alone, which is why Resonances is most of all a place for sharing ideas, for meetings, project emergence, and partnerships with other laboratories, and with industry (which is well-represented this year in lectures and with demonstration stands).

 Computer Sound Transformation
Realising that these notions of spectral transformation could in principle be generalised in a computing environment, when major computer music facilities became available in Europe (at IRCAM in Paris) I submitted a proposal for a work based on vocal transformation and was invited on the induction course in 1981.
Immediately after the IRCAM project in 1986, working in the CDP environment, I developed a large number of other spectral transformation tools using the Phase Vocoder data as a starting point.
Later IRCAM did decide to pursue Phase Vocoder based transformation and the Super Phase Vocoder (SVP) group was established (the basis of the later AudioSculpt).
