Composition of mixed music
This course prepares students for working as a composer, with a mixed approach using acoustic, electro-acoustic and electronic instruments for the composition, transformation and synthesis of sound.
The level of education on completion of the Master’s is advanced, and includes knowledge in the field of electronic music and interactive media that will enable young graduates to access a range of professional activities, in the fields of music, dance or theatre.
The field of activity is fairly broad and includes:
- The composition of instrumental or mixed music;
- The composition of electronic or electro-acoustic music for diverse applications, such as studio mixing or for the cinema, and the creation of images or other media;
- The interpretation of electronic music in a concert or studio environment;
- The teaching of technology associated with music.

Partnership with IRCAM
The Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique / Musique (IRCAM) in Paris has developed, in parallel to its fundamental missions of musical research and creation, significant training and pedagogical activity. Thanks to an agreement with IRCAM, the HEM can send its students to Paris for pedagogical exchanges.
This collaboration includes:
- The ability for students taking a Master’s in mixed composition at the HEM to conduct part of their first year of training at IRCAM, after selection;
- The ability for students who have taken the preceding course to maintain ties with IRCAM, not least in the form of involvement in certain pedagogical and professional activities organised at IRCAM.
The agreement also provides for the making available, by both partner institutions, of facilities for producing Master’s projects.
