Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique

IRCAM, the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music, is one of the world’s largest public research centers dedicated to both musical expression and scientific research. A unique location where artistic sensibilities collide with scientific and technological innovation, Frank Madlener has directed the institute since 2006, bringing together over 160 people.

IRCAM's three principal activities — creation, research, transmission — are visible in IRCAM's Parisian concert season, in productions throughout France and abroad, in a new rendezvous created in June 2012, ManiFeste, that combines an international festival with a mulitdisciplianry academy.

Founded by Pierre Boulez, IRCAM is associated with the Centre Pompidou, under the tutelage of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. Institutionally supported by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication since its creation, the mixed STMS research lab (Sciences and Technologies for Music and Sound) housed by IRCAM also benefits from the support of the CNRS and, since 2010, the University Pierre and Marie Curie.
