Emulation and development of sound arts

Konnekt favors a global approach to sound creation through various practices. In a desire for innovation and hybridization, Konnekt adopts the role of pivot, of connector between different cultural actors through its projects.

• Contemporary music in line with its time and current societal concerns.
• The search for openness, decompartmentalization and innovation at the musical, compositional and technical level.
• A taste for research, emerging, experimental, improvised, composed or conceptual music.
• A taste for extended techniques, augmented / hybrid instruments, alternative composition strategies.
• An interest in an interdisciplinary use of sound creation.
• A hybridization of styles to develop sound creation.
