THE INFLUENCE OF IRCAM ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC CULTURE OF THE XX-XXI CENTURY

Abstract

The aim of the research is to outline the influence of the Institute for Research and Coordination of Acoustics / Music (IRCAM) on the development of music culture of the XX-XXI centuries. The research methodology includes the use of an analytical method to highlight the role and significance of IRCAM. The method of synthesis allows highlighting the dominant features that characterize the specifics of electroacoustic works. The application of the methodology of cultural studies is necessary to determine the links between different areas of musical activity and the role of the technological level in the formation of certain areas and techniques of composition. The scientific novelty is to determine the role of the Institute for Research and Coordination of Acoustics / Music (IRCAM) in contemporary music culture and highlight the contribution of Alla Zagaykevych in promoting methods studied at a French institution in the domestic school of composition. Conclusions. The opening of IRCAM was a significant event in music life. This institution helps to introduce musicians with systematic activities related to mastering new techniques of composition, research of acoustic qualities of sound, introduction of innovations in the creative process, etc. The potential and progressive nature of IRCAM has been developed under the guidance of lead composer, conductor and theorist Pierre Boulez. It can be said that due to the opportunities to study innovations implemented at the Institute for Research and Coordination of Acoustics / Music, a qualitative leap in the development of domestic music culture has taken place. The work of Ukrainian artist Alla Zagaykevych, which is associated with the creation of electroacoustic compositions, became possible thanks to training at IRCAM. The composer also implements the acquired experience in pedagogical activity, which is confirmed by the modern compositional practice of her students. The writing of electroacoustic works is of a promising nature, and their study may be the subject of further research.
