Jean-François Lejeune

Bio “I’m a stage manager in the world of live performance and in recent years I’ve had the opportunity to create sound for various shows by Thierry Smith, Toumai, Summertime and Vanishing Act, as well as for Elsa Poisot, Budy Body. These creations were commissioned and so are not exclusively electroacoustic compositions. I do, however, use the tools, vocabulary and grammar that I’ve been learning for the last 4 years on the acousmatic composition course with Annette Vande Gorne.Over the last few years I’ve also been developing an electronic instrument that allows me to play live (improvised or prepared) with […]

Bio “My musical journey began far from the paths of acousmatic music. I took part in The Voice Belgium in 2018, then represented Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019. Pop music and song took up a lot of space in my life.But it was when I joined the Conservatoire’s acousmatic composition section that my musical approach underwent a real metamorphosis. Acousmatic music turned out to be a profound liberation for me. Liberation from the often restrictive codes of pop music. A liberation from musical creation, where I discovered that every sound could be received at the same level […]

« Enfant, je suis dans la lune. On met des diabolos dans mes tympans.Un jour, mon père rentre du service militaire avec un ukulele.Aux Planchettes, je passe mon temps à m’enregistrer avec un magnéto Fisher Price rouge. Je parle beaucoup.Plus tard, j’apprends la guitare et à me taire. Il faut commencer par se taire pour écouter. La musique devient mon meilleur moyen de communication.Je fais du punk rock avec mes copains. Puis j’enregistre.Les techniques du son me fascinent. Je quitte la Suisse pour la Belgique, où j’étudie à l’Institut des Arts de Diffusion. C’est là que je découvre naïvement la musique […]

Dimitri Coppe

by

Biography Dimitri Coppe is a composer of electroacoustic music. He also practices improvisation and works with dance, film and radio. His projects are based on the spatialisation of sound, so he doesn’t make records and favours the concert, i.e. meeting the public, collective listening, live performance and site-specific installation. He develops his own concert set-up, which is more expressive and poetic than linear and faithful. His approach to sound plays on the ambiguity of sources, sounds, movements, intentions and even perception. Alongside his own projects, he collaborates on unusual formats. Olbers’ paradoxe is a night-time concert from 10pm to 7am […]

Apart from some years of music lessons at the music academy (in violin and cello) De Laet was largely self-taught, and was mainly interested in the thought-processes of the avant-garde.

In order to increase public awareness of the music of the avant-garde, de Laet set up the Studio voor Experimentele Muziek (SEM) in 1973. Under the auspices of this studio, he organised monthly concerts in various locations (the […]
