Submit information about the music of Marc Monnet

Life

After «classical» music studies, from the Paris Conservatory to the Musikhochschule in Koln with Mauricio Kagel, Marc Monnet is a composer difficult to define.

Definitely contemporary, always inventing, he goes from the instrumental «classic» writing, to the most innovating research for an opera, which only preserves its name. He passes through the sound exploitation proposed by electronics, up to the transformations realised at the IRCAM (Paris) for his last opera Fragments. He has worked together with Jean Louis Barrault for the music of his opening show at the Theatre du Rond Point in Paris; with Dominique Bagouet who used his music and title «Fantasia Semplice» for his ballet premiered at the Opera de Paris (Garnier); with Karin Saporta for the music of a film for the Musée d’Orsay «Le Cirque» (the Circus); with Anne Torres for a show entitled «l’Exercice de la Bataille» (the exercice of the battle). With his company Attentat he has premiered some operas whose form is new, for the voice, the way of playing with body and the absence of text. The achievement of this work is realised in the frame of the Festival Musica in Strasbourg and the Festival d’Automne in Paris with «Fragments», in collaboration with IRCAM. He is actually writing an opera, commissioned by the Opera National de Strasbourg for September 2005.
