BIOGRAPHY OF MATTHIEU GAGELIN

Matthieu Gagelin was born in 1985 in a house where Pierre Henry could often be heard. He studied electro-acoustic composition with Gino Favotti and later Denis Dufour and Jonathan Prager. Beginning in 2005, he composed acousmatic works, played notably at the CRR de Paris, Radio France (Multiphonies ina-GRM), the Osaka Arts University, the Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), and at the Futura-Crest festival. He is still in search of a sonic totality, and continues to believe in the future of acousmatic art heralded by new generations of creators.
