Development of compositional projects that may include voice (solo, vocal ensemble or choir), instrumental ensemble and electronic ins- truments. These projects may also include theatrical (monodrama, chamber opera, musical mise-en-scène) and visual elements (digital image transformation). All discipline areas will be supported by the various departments of the Strasbourg Academy of Music (Haute École des Arts du Rhin). These projects will be developed in par- tnership with the festival Musica and will be part of a public showing in the autumn of 2014.
