**EPISODE IN FRENCH / EPISODE EN FRANÇAIS**Hugues Dufourt privilégie les continuités et les lentes transformations d'un discours musical qui n'est que rarement interrompu. Il conçoit des formes par évolution de masses et travaille sur les notions de seuils, d'oscillations, d'interférences et de processus orientés. Pionnier du mouvement spectral, il lui accorde toutefois une définition plus large, cherchant à mettre en valeur l'instabilité que le timbre introduit dans l'orchestration. Sa musique repose sur une richesse de constellations sonores et harmoniques et s'appuie sur une dialectique du timbre et du temps. Il puise une partie de son inspiration dans l'art pictural, dont il retient essentiellement le rôle de la couleur, des matières et de la lumière (Dawn flight, quatuor à cordes créé en 2008 à Musica, Le Cyprès blanc et L'Origine du monde, créés à Musica 2004). Marqué par l'avant-garde française des années soixante, Hugues Dufourt participe aux activités de L'Itinéraire (1975-81) et fonde en 1977 le Collectif de Recherche Instrumentale et de Synthèse Sonore (CRISS) avec Alain Bancquart et Tristan Murail. Agrégé de Philosophie en 1967, il publie de nombreux écrits. Il est chargé de recherche (1973-85) puis directeur de recherche au CNRS (1985-2009) et crée en 1982 l'Unité Mixte de Recherche "Recherche Musicale" qu'il dirige jusqu'en 1995. Hugues Dufourt a reçu de nombreux prix, notamment en 2000 le Prix du Président de la République pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre, décerné par l'Académie Charles Cros. Ces dernières années, Hugues Dufourt a composé des oeuvres aux formations diverses, du piano seul (Tombeau de Debussy créé au Festival Musica 2018) au grand orchestre (Ur-Geräusch, créé en 2016 par l'Orchestre de la WDR, Les deux saules d'après Monet créé en 2020 à Vienne par l'Orchestre symphonique de la Radio), en passant par des petites formations (L'atelier rouge d'après Matisse, créé en 2020 à Varsovie par l'Ensemble Nikel) ou les percussions (Burning Bright, créé par les Percussions de Strasbourg au Festival Musica 2014).

Alexander Goehr is a composer for whom the conventional labels of new music seem increasingly inadequate. A latent nonconformism is already suggested by the essential biographical facts. He was born in Berlin in 1932, son of the conductor and Schoenberg pupil Walter Goehr. Still in his early twenties, he emerged as a key figure in the celebrated ‘Manchester School' of post-war British composers. In 1955-56 he joined Oliver Messiaen's masterclass in Paris. Thereafter, he worked as a BBC producer and broadcaster, and was a director of the Music Theatre Ensemble. In 1971 he was appointed Professor of Music at Leeds University, and was subsequently appointed to the chair at Cambridge in 1976. Background apart, however, the source of Goehr's heterogeneous yet single-minded development lies in a questing musical intelligence and a special gift for elaboration, transformation and synthesis. The artistic imperative is for a step-by-step progression, wherever it might lead, from what is familiar to what is genuinely new.Special thanks to Julian Anderson,  and to Ian Mylett and Sam Rigby of Schott Music for their invaluable assistance in the production of this episode.LINKSAlexander Goehr page on Schott MusicListen to ‘Colossos or Panic' for orchestraSUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV'S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev's scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/samuelandreyev)

Julian Nott came to music relatively late. After studying Music and Politics and Economics at Oxford University, he worked for a management consultancy firm in the City for a number of  years. Finding that not entirely to his liking, he enrolled in the UK's National Film And Television School, funding his studies by simultaneously working freelance for the Economist Publications. After film school, Julian worked as an independent documentary film producer, making films for Channel Four Television, Arte Channel and WGBH Boston. Along the way he qualified as a (non-practising) barrister. At film school, Julian met the animator Nick Park, writing the music for his early Wallace and Gromit films. When these films became such a huge success, the offers starting come in and Julian switched to film scoring full time. His work still includes much animation (“Wallace and Gromit in the The Curse of the Wererabbit”, “Peppa Pig”, “Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom”, “The Hungry Caterpillar”). Feature films credits include “The Decoy Bride”, “My Mother's Courage”, “Heavy Petting” and “A Man Of No Importance”. On television, credits include all four series of the BBC's popular “Lark Rise to Candleford”, ITV's "The Vice" and David Jason's comedy “The Royal Bodyguard”.Julian Nott's websiteSUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV'S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev's scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/samuelandreyev)

In 1972, Betsy Jolas (b. 1926) traveled to Indonesia with Iannis Xenakis, Toru Takemitsu, Henri-Louis de la Grange, Maurice Fleuret and several others. While there, she encountered the Topeng dance, which, nearly 50 years later, inspired the composition of her 8th quartet, Topeng. This piece was written for the Arditti Quartet in 2019. In anticipation of her 95th birthday on 5 August 2021, she tells us what happened on that trip, what it was like traveling with Takemitsu and Xenakis, and why it is that Bali left such an indelible imprint on her music.MUSIC HEARD IN THIS EPISODEBetsy Jolas, Topeng for string quartet (2019)Performed live by the Arditti String QuartetSUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV'S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev's scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/samuelandreyev)

Matthew Ricketts (b. 1986, British Columbia) is a Canadian composer currently based in New York City. His music moves from extremes of presence and absence, from clamor to quietude, at once reticent and flamboyant. Matthew's music has been called “lyrical, contrapuntal, rhythmically complex and highly nuanced” (The American Academy of Arts and Letters) and is noted for his “effervescent and at times prickly sounds,” “hypnotically churning exploration of melody” (ICareIfYouListen) as well as its “tart harmonies and perky sputterings” (The New York Times). He is a 2020 Gaudeamus Finalist and a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow.     In 2018 Ricketts' multilingual opera Chaakapesh: The Trickster's Quest (written in collaboration with renowned Cree playwright Tomson Highway) opened the Montreal Symphony's 84th season to great critical acclaim and went on to tour Indigenous communities throughout Québec. Matthew is the recipient of fellowships from Civitella Ranieri (2020/2021), The American Academy of Arts and Letters (2020), MacDowell (2019), the Tanglewood Music Center (2018 Elliott Carter Memorial Fellowship) and the Aspen Music Festival (2017), in addition to the 2016 Lili Boulanger Memorial Fund Prize, the 2016 Jacob Druckman Prize (Aspen Music Festival), the 2016 Mivos/Kanter Prize, the 2015 Salvatore Martirano Memorial Composition Award, a 2013 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award and eight prizes in the SOCAN Foundation's Awards for Young Composers.Matthew holds degrees in music composition and theory from McGill University's Schulich School of Music (B.Mus. 2009) and Columbia University (DMA 2017).
