Festival in Paris &#8212; December 2 to 7, 2025<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improtech<\/strong>&nbsp;is both a&nbsp;<strong>musical festival<\/strong>&nbsp;and an&nbsp;<strong>interdisciplinary workshop<\/strong>&nbsp;bringing together actors of research and creation from all over the world fostering&nbsp;<strong>musical improvisation<\/strong>&nbsp;in interaction with&nbsp;<strong>digital intelligences<\/strong>, in an assumed approach of human-machine&nbsp;<strong>co-creativity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After praised editions in New York, Philadelphia, Athens, Uzeste and Tokyo&nbsp;<strong>Improtech Paris<\/strong>&nbsp;(ikParis&rsquo;25) will land down in Paris, at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ircam.fr\/\">Ircam,<\/a>&nbsp;where the concept was created, for the first time !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/improtech.ircam.fr\/ikparis\/images\/Logo_ikPT_MSS.png\" width=\"200\">Organized as part of the European&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/improtech.ircam.fr\/ikparis\/reach.ircam.fr\">REACH project<\/a>, the Improtech international workshop-festival is dedicated to combining the universal art of improvisation with digital intelligence cultures through a series of conferences, interdisciplinary workshops, installations, performances, and concerts. After traveling across three continents and bringing together leading figures in the field,&nbsp;<strong>Improtech returns to Ircam<\/strong>, one of its founders, for an edition that will focus on space and composition\/improvidsation and pay tribute to American composer George Lewis, an essential reference in musical AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Ircam will host Improtech concerts in its unique concert hall, Espace de projection, encouraging&nbsp;<strong>a triple synthesis<\/strong>: that of acoustic instrumental culture with the original interactive artificial intelligence developed by the REACH project, that of solo improvisation with writing for mixed ensembles, and finally that of spatialization and sound immersion, also renewed by creative AI. This groundbreaking combination, supported by leading artistic figures in&nbsp;<strong>composition, improvisation, performance, and technology<\/strong>, will undoubtedly create a dazzling version of this sixth Improtech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/improtech.ircam.fr\/images\/IKPoster_frag1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:192px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlights\">Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This edition of IMPROTECH in Paris will welcome a number of truly exceptional personalities, including celebrated multi-award jazzman&nbsp;<strong>Steve Lehman<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Jo\u00eblle L\u00e9andre<\/strong>, the double-bass diva with life time achievement award, contemporary classical composers&nbsp;<strong>Lara Morciano<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Jose-Miguel Fernandez<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Marco Suarez-Cifuentes<\/strong>, exploring the limits of hybrid acoustic\/digital composition,&nbsp;<strong>Nicolas Crosse<\/strong>&nbsp;the extravagant bass player from Ensemble Intercontemporain (EIC),&nbsp;<strong>Aurelien Gignoux<\/strong>&nbsp;brillant percussionist in the EIC, incredible Colombian coloratura soprano&nbsp;<strong>Johanna Vargas<\/strong>, the great Malagasy zither virtuoso&nbsp;<strong>Justin Vali<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Jean-marc Montera<\/strong>, avant-garde guitarist specializing in free improvisation and sound experimentation,&nbsp;<strong>Bernard Lubat<\/strong>&nbsp;the legendary french multi-instrumentist,&nbsp;<strong>Turner Williams Jr<\/strong>&nbsp;the the spirited musician playing the syncretic orient-occident instrument shahibaaja,&nbsp;<strong>Gyorgy Kurtazg Jr<\/strong>&nbsp;and his vibrant synthesizers, composer&nbsp;<strong>Nicolas Brochec<\/strong>&nbsp;exploiting his research on extended techniques recognition with flutist&nbsp;<strong>Kamami Koga<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Tamami Tono<\/strong>&nbsp;celebrated Sh\u014d player, Gagaku and computer music composer, with bugaku dancer&nbsp;<strong>Minako Ito<\/strong>, composer&nbsp;<strong>Georges Bloch<\/strong>&nbsp;with legendary&nbsp;<strong>Jaap Blonk<\/strong>&nbsp;sound poet and&nbsp;<strong>Benny Sluchin<\/strong>&nbsp;former Ensemble Intercontemporain trombonist,&nbsp;<strong>Lorenzo Colombo<\/strong>&nbsp;virtuoso percussionist from the Royal Danish Academy of Music,&nbsp;<strong>Alberto Gatti<\/strong>&nbsp;the composer exploring audio-tactile vibration devices and space agents,&nbsp;<strong>Ana\u00efs del Sordo<\/strong>&nbsp;singer with a spirit of experimentation, creativity and extended sonic exploration, virtuoso violonist and inventor of the Mugic\u00a9 system&nbsp;<strong>Mari Kimura<\/strong>, celebrated composer&nbsp;<strong>Sivan Eldar<\/strong>, Electronic Hacker and dancer&nbsp;<strong>NSDOS<\/strong>, Electroacoustic composer,performer and designer&nbsp;<strong>Pierre Couprie<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Thierry Miroglio<\/strong>&nbsp;an essential reference in contemporary percussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special dedicace this year is for&nbsp;<strong>George Lewis<\/strong>&nbsp;composer, pioneer of musical AI, and great inspirer of all our research projects on autonomous improvising agents.
