about
Musician & tape music composer Born in 1963. Graduate in aesthetic (music, video & philosophy) DEA university Paris I, 1994. He has earned a PhD in Ethnology/Religious Science in analysing the popular culture of the peasants of the Normandy during the XIXth century. EPHE 2002. In arts, he has studies with Michel Journiac (performance), Costin Miereanu (composition), Anne Marie Duguet (new technology)… Composer of several tens of tape music pieces alone or in collaboration with, notably Jean-Luc Guionnet, Eric Cordier has been invited in the contemporary music studio : GRAME (Lyon) from 89 to 91 & la Grande Fabrique (Dieppe) from 92 to 98. He works in his personal studio since that time. Eric Cordier, close to “musique concrete”, has built a musical style in which the sound texture is always used in the respect of his own specificities, limiting the impact of the sound treatments. Each musical piece is composed around a strong concept or a deep thematic, according to questions of society or memory. Beside numerous “électroacoustiques” compositions for tape only, Eric Cordier’s experience in matter of mixed music is based on collaboration with improvisers : Seijiro Murayama, Jean Luc Guionnet, Dominique Regef, or contemporary musicians as Georges Pennetier. His music has been premiered in the following : Synthèse (Bourges), Why Note & Diese (Dijon), Tramway (Rouen), Mémoire Vives /actart77, Excentrique (Chaumont sur Loire), Licences (Paris), Ca vaut jamais le réel (Montreuil)
