about

« Quand je compose, j’ai besoin de m’immerger dans des lectures qui correspondent à mes préoccupations, elles sont d’ordre philosophique ou métaphysique pour la plupart. Elles concernent souvent la recherche de l’être, de son rapport au monde ou au cosmos.
Cette itinérance, assez longue, me permet d’élaborer petit à petit des images porteuses de sens, de liens. L’image pour moi est une sorte de comparaison, d’analogie dont l’un des termes est une réalité expérimentale, sensible, offerte à tous et l’autre une réalité spirituelle qu’il s’agit précisément de faire surgir. Comme si le visible était un témoignage de l’invisible qui l’informe et le contient. Cette image guide ensuite la recherche des corps sonores, des sons, l’expression, le geste qui va les animer, le processus, la construction. C’est l’image qui donne à la multiplicité d’éléments disparates, une unité organique ; une structure subsistante. » Christine Groult

Élève, à la fois, au Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) de Radio France dirigé par Pierre Schaeffer, au conservatoire expérimental de Pantin et à la Sorbonne en musicologie, Christine Groult devient assistante au département de pédagogie à l’IRCAM sous la direction de Pierre Boulez. Titulaire du CA d’électroacoustique, elle devient responsable du studio électroacoustique du conservatoire de Chalon-sur-Saône en 1985. Depuis 1990, elle enseigne la composition électroacoustique à l’école nationale de musique de Pantin.
Christine Groult compose des musiques de concert, de théâtre, de chorégraphie, documentaires et des spectacles sons/lumières. Elle inscrit son travail dans la recherche d’une musique expressive qui s’adresse à l’émotion. C’est le potentiel poétique des sons et la recherche de nouvelles dramaturgies sonores qui l’intéressent particulièrement.
La musique électroacoustique est son mode d’expression, cette forme de composition qui se pratique sur ordinateur, est concrète. Tel un sculpteur, elle travaille à même la matière sonore, la métamorphose en un univers musical au pouvoir évocateur infini. Cette musique diffusée sur un orchestre de haut-parleurs s’adapte à toutes sortes d’architectures et de sites. Elle travaille dans son studio personnel à Paris.

Pupil, at the same time, of the Groupe de Recherche Musical (GRM) – Radio France – directed by Pierre Schaeffer, of the Conservatoire Expérimental of Pantin and of the Sorbonne in musicology, Christine Groult becomes assistant of the Department of Pedagogy of the IRCAM under the direction of Pierre Boulez. Titular of CA of electroacoustic, she becomes responsible for the studio electroacoustic of the academy of Chalon-sur-Saône in 1985. Since 1990, she teaches the electroacoustic composition at the National School of Music, Pantin.
Christine Groult composes musics of concert, theatre, choreography, documentary and of “sounds/lights” spectacles. She registers her work in the search for an expressive music which is addressed to the emotion. It is the poetic potential of the sounds and the search for new sound dramaturgies which interest her particularly.
Electroacoustic music is its mode of expression, this form of composition which is practised on computer, is concrete. Such as a sculptor, she works the sound matter, she metamorphose it in a musical universe with an infinite evocative capacity. This music diffused on an orchestra of loudspeakers adapts to all kinds of architectures and sites. Christine works in its personal studio in Paris.
