Abstract It's hardly surprising that a man who built his career on disobedience and refusal of authority should have seen his own authority challenged early on. The virulence of opposition to Boulez was commensurate with the man's intransigence and the …

Abstract Throughout Pierre Boulez's career, his creative activity was matched by complementary professional roles designed first and foremost to promote the dissemination of his work and the modern works he supported: founder and director of institutions, …

Abstract Long before 1977 marked the inauguration of Ircam and the start of his lectures at the Collège de France, Pierre Boulez had laid the foundations for his public activities. He had even done so by stirring up resounding polemics that left little …

Conference in English. Abstract Pierre Boulez reminds us that one of the sources of the form of Anthèmes 1 is the plainchant Lamentations of Jeremiah , which he sang in his youth during the First Nocturne service on Holy Thursday. The most striking …

Abstract The strong mutual repulsion of electrons is responsible for some of the most interesting phenomena in contemporary condensed matter physics, where examples range from unconventional high-temperature superconductivity, over quantum criticality to …

Abstract "Music doesn't need a laboratory". With these words, the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg at the Max Planck Institute rejected Pierre Boulez's project for collaboration between science and music in 1970. Did Werner …

Abstract In November 1970, at the request of President Georges Pompidou, Pierre Boulez began work on a project to integrate a music research institute into the future Beaubourg Plateau art center. Over the next three years, Boulez consulted and assembled …

Abstract Data assimilation is the set of key mathematical methods used to optimally combine observations and numerical model outputs. Data assimilation (DA) is critical to adjust the initial condition of meteorological forecasts, to estimate model …

Abstract The stunning recent advances in AI content generation rely on cutting-edge, generative deep learning algorithms and architectures trained on massive amounts of text, image, and video data. With different training data, these algorithms and …

Abstract This presentation will cover some of the recent advances in weather forecasting, learning directly from data using machine learning techniques. It will discuss some of the limitations and pitfalls of training ML models for scientific …

Abstract While AI has been disrupting conventional weather forecasting, we are only beginning to witness the impact of AI on long-term climate simulations. The fidelity and reliability of climate models has been limited by computing capabilities. These …

Abstract Mathematical and numerical models of the atmosphere and ocean rely on various assumptions, approximations, and simplifications. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in elucidating their structure and interconnections, …

Abstract I will discuss the Neural GCM, which we built by building a dynamical core in JAX and then training the parameterization on ERA5 on 5-day forecasts. The quality of the forecasts up to 1 year portends a potential revolution in improving model …

This event is not broadcast online. Program Presentation by Nicolas Donin and Jonathan Goldman Pierre Boulez Dérive  1 , for six   instruments (the work will be performed twice) Répons , for six   soloists, ensemble and electronics (excerpt) Tristan …

Abstract Faced with the growing success of discourses that make climate change the driving force behind the successes and (above all) the failures of ancient societies, we need to give a voice to the actors -   humans and non-humans alike   - of …

Abstract The main part of Boulez's last lecture at the Collège de France - "L'œuvre: tout ou fragment" (The work: whole or fragment) - deals with the different types of relationship that the fragment and the whole can have within the work , depending on …

Abstract A landmark work, Pierre Boulez's Répons (1980-82) was written to showcase the technological potential of IRCAM, the Parisian Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music that Boulez founded in 1977. This piece, like many others, was …

Abstract Pierre Boulez has a unique relationship with archives and libraries. The composer, who wanted to "burn libraries" and made them the site of the tension between memory and creation, was himself interested in the archives of others, and took care …

Abstract In 1986, Pierre Boulez signed a contract to donate his musical manuscripts to the Swiss conductor and patron Paul Sacher, a friend of many years. The collection was the cornerstone of the musical holdings that have since been preserved and …

Abstract Pierre Boulez has written and spoken surprisingly little about composers active in the second half of the twentieth century. A prolific author and passionate commentator on composers such as Webern, Schoenberg and Debussy, whom he integrated into …

Abstract The topic of musical material features prominently throughout Boulez's College de France lectures, and in this paper I set out to establish some of the principal elements of its elaboration. Boulez spoke of the dissatisfaction experienced by …
