*Concours Luc Ferrari*
Concours international de création radiophonique

Every other year, La Muse en Circuit organizes an international competition of radio music composition open to young artists, in partnership with the Archipel Festival, the SACEM, Radio France, and foreign radio stations (Radio Suisse Romande / Espace 2, Deutschland RadioKultur).

The 8th biennial competition created by Luc Ferrari is inspired by a piece from his work, Madame de Shanguai for a flute trio and pre-recorded track.

Both a way of paying tribute to Mr. Ferrari as well as a means of stimulating the imagination of composers, the current competition asks participants to write a piece that develops the principal of the Horspiel.

The entries should resemble mixed music but without any interaction other than the synchronization of an instrument with stereophonic or 5.1 support. The instrumental score will be able to be amplified and transformed except for computerized real time processing. The final piece, with a maximum duration of 15 minutes, will be performed in concert.

The winning entries as well as the piece written by Luc Ferrari will be featured on disc as well as in concerts associated with the competition.

We hope that this tradition of honoring Mr. Ferrari will be stimulating and likely to give rise to new talents and not just epigones. You will thus find attached the application form. We hope that it will be possible for you to leave them at disposal of musicians. You can also contact us by email to have more informations :
