Diego Losa: Composing and mastering for octophonic sound systems with GRM Tools Spaces
Immerse yourself in the world of sound spatialization and discover the creative potential of multichannel environments. In this intensive two-hour workshop, we will explore tools and strategies to expand your sonic language and bring your projects into a new dimension.
The workshop will focus on:
- Developing a strong artistic concept: balance, sound projection, and compositional clarity within a multichannel space.
- Shaping sound movement: moving from intuitive or random approaches toward precise, expressive spatial design.
- Artistic and technical use of GRM Tools Spaces and GRM Tools Atelier as essential instruments for contemporary sound creation.
Designed as a hands-on creative lab, the workshop offers space to experiment, analyze, and design sound in motion. It is ideal for composers, sound artists, and producers who want to deepen their knowledge of spatialization and multichannel practice.
The workshop will be lead by Diego Losa, who has been a member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (INA-GRM) since 1997, the leading institution for electroacoustic music, where he is currently responsible for advertising and promoting GRM Tools. In this role, he actively contributes to the development, dissemination, and training of these reference software tools. He is responsible for the digitization of original GRM works, works as a sound engineer and technical assistant for visiting composers at INA, and is a professor of sound engineering at Sorbonne (Paris I) and at the EICAR film school. He also leads the electroacoustic music department at the Saint-Étienne Conservatory and teaches sound design at both EICAR and INA.
Participation is free of charge. Places are limited.
