A participatory scientific concert by Ircam exploring musical listening and auditory attention through an interactive experience with the audience.
As part of the Échappées inattendues du CNRS, what makes our listening attention drawn to one voice rather than another? Or, conversely, what causes our auditory attention to fade and our imagination to start wandering? In short, how do composers play with our attention? This concert-experiment explores the mysteries of musical listening and invites the audience to take part live in a scientific experiment using a mobile phone. Program Raphaèle Biston Lab (Listening) - 2026 premiere Performers Alaïa Labat-Michon, Luis Perez-Magaña accordions Organizing committee Clément Canonne (CNRS-STMS) from the Analyse des pratiques musicales team, Emmanuel Ponsot (CNRS-STMS) and Patrick Susini (Ircam-STMS) from the Perception & design sonores team. With support from the Mission pour les initiatives transverses et interdisciplinaires du CNRS, the ministère de la Culture, the Sciences et Technologies de la Musique et du Son laboratory (UMR 9912), and Ircam-Centre Pompidou.
