Join us for an in‑depth talk with Annette Vande Gorne, one of Belgium’s most influential electroacoustic and acousmatic composers.
Moderated by Alessandro Perini and Yann Coppier – who will also assist with French translation – the conversation will explore Vande Gorne’s lifelong commitment to restoring musical expressivity within technological creation.
The discussion, accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, will draw on selected elements from Annette’s treatise on composition Vous avez dit acousmatique? (Did you say acousmatic?), published in late 2025.
Annette Vande Gorne (Charleroi, 1946) is a leading Belgian electroacoustic and acousmatic composer. After studies in Mons, Brussels, and Paris, she founded Musiques & Recherches and the Métamorphoses d’Orphée studio, as well as the influential festival L’Espace du Son. She has been a major force in acousmatic pedagogy, teaching at several Belgian conservatories and establishing an independent electroacoustic department in Mons.
Her music places spatial thinking at its core and draws on nature, physical phenomena, and the interplay between sound and meaning. Key works include the Tao cycle, Ce qu’a vu le vent d’Est, Yawar Fiesta, and the long‑running Vox Alia series. She has received numerous awards and helped develop one of the world’s most significant electroacoustic documentation centers.
