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.

Gilles Deleuze. An approach to music: the issues
Cdmc
Coordination: Pascale Criton
This first session opens the itinerant seminar by presenting different aspects of Gilles Deleuze’s encounter with music. We shall set out the main lines of Deleuze’s approach to music and the historical context of his philosophy from the 1960s (the serial approach, structuralism…): the musical and aural references in his work, the philosophical notions to be found in various texts that deal more particularly with the domain of music, the extensions of this approach in the case of composers who were contemporary with the philosopher.
