Jodlowski Pierre
Born in 1971 in Toulouse, he studied composition at the Conservatoire de Lyon and IRCAM courses. Since 1998 he has been artistic director of the Novelum festival in Toulouse and of the artistic group éOle. His works have been performed at numerous festivals of contemporary music in France and abroad, as well as at artistic centres associated with dance, theatre, art and electronic music. At present his music is developing along various lines; apart from shaping his own musical path, the artist is involved in creating images, music programming, directing and, primarily, in studying the issues of dynamic relations in stage spaces. He regards music as an “active” art, capable of strong effect both in the physical dimension (through energy, gesture and space) and the psychological one (through associations and through stimulating memory and imagination). Alongside composing music, Jodlowski also appears on the stage, solo or with other artists. He has collaborated with IRCAM, with Ensemble intercontemporain, CIRM, GRM, Radio France, the festival in Donaueschingen, Concours de Piano d’Orléans and GMEM (Glasgow Minimum Essential Medium), as well as taking part in the European Integra project. His many international awards include the Claude Arrieu prize of the SACEM association in 2002, while during 2003 and 2004 he was invited to be artist-inresidence at the Berlin Academy of Art. His works are performed at most important centres of contemporary sound art in France, throughout Europe, in Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan and the US.
