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.

Encounter with Simon Steen-Andersen
Moderation Michèle Tosi
The Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen (1976), as a composer, performer and sound artist, has forged a triple identity that can be seen in its relationship to music. This trinity is a rule changer. Though earlier examples of mixity can be found with John Cage (1912-1992) in his relationship with the choreographer Merce Cunningham (1909-2009) and his events, with the Fluxus movement as the dynamo of the class of Wolfgang Fortner (1907-1987), with the video art of Nam June Paik (1932-2006), music theatre is also a stage in the development of a more performance-based art.
It is the emergent constellation of an art in action that will be examined during this encounter with Simon Steen-Andersen.
With the participation of Martin Kaltenecker, Simon Steen-Andersen, Niels Rosing-Schow, Michèle Tosi.
