PHILIPPE MANOURY

Philippe Manoury began music at the age of nine. Very quickly, he composes as an autodidact. He studied piano with Pierre Sancan, harmony and counterpoint at the Normal School of Music in Paris. At the start of the 1970s, he decided to take up the path of composition on the advice of Gérard Condé, who introduced him to Max Deutsch at the École Normale de Musique in Paris. He then studied composition also with Michel Philippot and Ivo Malec at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris, where he also followed Claude Ballif's analysis class. In 1975, he began studying computer-aided musical composition with Pierre Barbaud.

The works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez and Iannis Xenakis form the first references of Philippe Manoury. For him, the act of composition consists in implementing capacities for the transformation of both musical material and perception. Some works can be organized into a vast cycle in which each piece feeds, by metamorphosing it, on the material of the preceding ones, like the confrontation with the computer, the instrument alone at first (Jupiter, Prix de the best musical achievement of SACEM in 1988, Pluton), then the percussion ensemble (Neptune) and finally the soloists and the orchestra (La Partition du ciel et de l'enfer) in the vast cycle "Sonvs ex machina".

Present in the main contemporary music festivals and concerts from the age of nineteen, it was with the creation of Cryptophonos, by the pianist Claude Helffer at the Metz Festival in 1974, that he really made himself known to the public. In 1978, he moved to Brazil and gave courses and lectures on contemporary music at various universities there. In 1981, back in France, he was invited to Ircam as a researcher. Since that time, he has continued to participate, as a composer or teacher, in the activities of the Institute. From the research undertaken at this time, will be born Zeitlauf, for mixed choir, instrumental ensemble, synthesizers and magnetic tape created in 1982. In close collaboration with Miller Puckette, he then worked more specifically in the field of instrument-machine interaction, with the main goal of developing systems allowing the simulation and real-time monitoring of instrumental behavior, and therefore the integration of interpretation phenomena into the musical composition itself and into electroacoustics. The cycle of interactive pieces "Sonvs ex machina", for different instruments and electronics, remains as one of the important milestones of this history, just like In echo, for soprano and electronics.

From 1983 to 1987, Philippe Manoury was in charge of pedagogy within the Ensemble intercontemporain. He then taught composition and electronic music at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Lyon (1987-1997). From 1998 to 2000, he was responsible for the European Music Academy of the Aix-en-Provence festival. He also leads numerous composition seminars in France and abroad. From 1995 to 2001, he was composer in residence at the Orchester de Paris and, from 2001 to 2003, at the Scène Nationale in Orléans. Between 2004 and 2012, he taught composition at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). In 2013, he was appointed professor of composition at the Strasbourg Conservatory and was in residence at the Paris Chamber Orchestra. In 2017, he was a visiting professor at the Annual Chair of Artistic Creation at the Collège de France.

His work covers all genres: solo pieces, mixed electronic music (in 2006, On-Iron for choir, video and electronics and Partita I for viola and electronics) chamber music, works for choir and for large orchestra. Among these, we can cite Sound and Fury which was created by Pierre Boulez with the orchestras of Chicago and Cleveland. Philippe Manoury also composed four operas: 60e Parallèle, created in 1998 at the Théâtre du Châtelet, K…, after The Trial of Kafka, premiered in 2001 at the Opéra-Bastille (SACD Grand Prize, Music Critics Prize in 2001 and Pierre I of Monaco Prize in 2002) The border in 2003, as part of his residency at the Scène Nationale in Orléans and Gutenberg's Night created at the Opéra du Rhin in Strasbourg as part of the 2011 Musica Festival. For this last opera, Philippe Manoury was named Composer of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique 2012.

Among the last works of Philippe Manoury we can note Terra Ignota for piano and orchestra conducted from the piano (2007), Abgrund for large orchestra (2007), Gesänge-Gedanken, song cycle on texts by Nietzsche for contralto and small ensemble (2009), Plural instants for two instrumental groups (2008), Synapse for violin and orchestra (2010), the two string quartets from 2010, blood pressure with electronics and Stringendo, and Sextet Assumptions created by the Accroche Note ensemble at the 2011 Musica Festival. In June 2012 a concerto for piano, electronics and orchestra, Echo-daimónon, commissioned by the Orchester de Paris, was premiered during the 2012 Ircam ManiFeste and, in July 2012, Partita II for violin and electronics, during the Messiaen Festival in the Pays de la Meije. In 2017 he works so on Kein Licht, a lyrical and theatrical work in collaboration with the director Nicolas Stemann (created at the Rurhtriennale and at the Opéra Comique in 2017). Philippe Manoury currently continuing to compose the Köln Trilogy, the first part of which Ring was premiered by the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne in May 2016, as well as the development of L'Échelle, an electronic installation in real time based on the hours, days and months of the year for the Théâtre La Scala in Paris (September 2018).
