The Cdmc holds a unique collection representing all aesthetics within musical creation. This collection has grown thanks to the collaboration of composers, publishers and Radio France. With a consultation area open to the public, the centre also affords access to many online resources through the Catalogue and the Gateway to Contemporary Music. A beacon of the latest music news with its website, the Cdmc organises encounters with the movers and shakers of contemporary music.
The Cdmc presents a season of encounters, seminars and day study sessions designed to counterpoint the views of specialists and professionals and to spotlight composers and performers. Focussing on topical aspects of the music scene, they are organised in collaboration with the main players of musical creation: ensembles, centres for creation, festivals, etc., as well as with those involved in research, the universities and conservatories. Dédicaces (Dedications): these are encounters featuring newly released books, discs or DVDs.

Rhythm, flux, fold - Materials: processes and production
Université Jean Monnet-Saint-Étienne, ENS Lyon
Coordination: Béatrice Ramaut-Chevassus and Anne Sauvagnargues
The aim is to analyse the modalities and the production of sound material as is practised and theorised by composers and musicologists, by recalling the contributions of Simondon, who shed light on the conception of signal in Deleuze, conceived as an ever provisional individuation, a coupling of forces and materials. This leads to a consideration of music under the aspects of rhythm, flux and fold, from sound material to composition, from noise to cry and the voice.
