investigations and of the emergent mutations of these practices. It is
opened to all the composers, to musicians, to organizers, to artists,
all actors in the musical and sound fields. The text on the website
allows an approach and an opening to potential discussions. The
questions which follow this text consider some tracks of discussions, to
which you can bring your answers, your askings, your disapprovals, etc.
in the forum part which is proposed to you by clicking the THRU button.
The forum can function by messages and answers to these messages, the
classification and the sorts will be set by topics and chronologically.
Thank you for your collaboration.

The contemporary musical field underwent strong mutations these ten last
years, the centers of interest and investigations being moved, the
methods of development of the compositional attitudes being also
radically positioned for some of composers. However the impact and the
public implication involve many questions today, within sight of the
disappearance of the "movements" and the phenomena of identification.

The technological personal context of the composer also changed, he
developed its personal tools until evolving to a qualified home-studio,
and being used of true studio for finished or preparatory works for a
finalization in a studio of research center.

The fields of the contemporary music seem to be a specific field,
difficult to encircle, difficult to communicate and yet implied in all
the sound territories today. Instead of instrumentalizing this field, so
that it succumbs in disconcerting facilities or contrary in sterile
autarkical stakes, it seems that a more relevant reflexion and an action
are to be carried out on the ways in which this field reacts to the
great mutations due to the development of new technologies for example,
or well to the new economic strategies, or to the redefinitions brought
by the displacements carried out by the massification of the music, etc.

To propose in this forum HUB of such questionnements would be salutary
to open a place of "scan" on the emergent languages, a place of debate
renewed on the conditions of the contemporary musical languages and an
active place, a laboratory of dialogues between the composers.
