Music Creators Development Project—Tokyo&Paris to the NEXT

The Tokyo Bunka Kaikan’s new initiative, “Music Creators Development Project—Tokyo&Paris to the NEXT,” has been selected for the Japan Creator Support Fund (Support Programs for Creator Development & Cultural Facilities Function Enhancement), established at the Japan Arts Council with funding from the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan. The project is a collaboration between the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan and IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music), focusing on co-commissioning works from young Japanese composers.


The three selected composers are MUKAI Hibiki, whose work will be premiered in the 2026 season; KITAZUME Hiromichi, with a premiere in the 2027 season; and YOKOYAMA Mioko, whose work is set for the 2028 season. These composers will create compositions that incorporate electronics, working with and at IRCAM, which offers a world-class environment for music creation. Their works will be premiered both in Paris and Japan. Additionally, a sound engineer, KANAHARA Naoya, will also be involved in the project.

IRCAM

Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music

 

IRCAM

IRCAM, the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music directed by Frank Madlener, is one of the world’s largest public research centers dedicated to both musical expression and scientific research. This unique location where artistic sensibilities collide with scientific and technological innovation brings together over 160 collaborators.


IRCAM’s three principal activities — creation, research, transmission — are visible in IRCAM’s Parisian concert season, in productions throughout France and abroad, and in an annual rendezvous, ManiFeste, that combines an international festival with a multidisciplinary academy.


Founded by Pierre Boulez, IRCAM is associated with the Centre Pompidou, under the tutelage of the French Ministry of Culture.


The mixed STMS research lab (Sciences and Technologies for Music and Sound), housed by IRCAM, also benefits from the support of the CNRS and Sorbonne University.


In 2020, IRCAM created IRCAM Amplify, a spin-off for the commercialization of the institute’s audio innovations. A true interface between state of the art of audio research and the industrial world on a global scale, IRCAM Amplify is a major actor in the sound revolution of the 21st century.
