André Riotte

Composer

André Riotte learned composition (with Andre Jolivet), analysis (with Olivier Messiaen and Jean Barraqué) and electronic engineering (ESME). Until 1982, he developed as well his activities of composer, teacher and researcher in the field of the music formalization, as his career of information technologies specialist within the European Communities ; since 1982, after a serious health trouble, he is devoted only to its musical activities, and shares his time between Brussels and Paris.

He wrote many works, for piano and various instrumental and orchestral formations, like Anamorphoses (1976) for baritone and 8 instrumentalists with texts by the Belgian poet Marc Rombaut, created in 1977 in Saint-Hubert and 1978 in Brussels by the Ensemble Musique Nouvelle (directing by George E. Octors), then in 1984 in France by the Ensemble Alternance (Festival of Angers, director Lucas Pfaff). For a French state commission (direction : Maurice Fleuret), he wrote Bibliothèque de Babel inspired from J. L. Borgès, which is mixing considerable techniques and human, narrowly interfering professional soloists and great amateurs formations (more than 200 players). This work was created at the Festival of Angers -(Music of the XXe century) in 1985.

He is member of Xenakis's CEMAMu since 1969. He teaches the mathematical formalization of the musical structures at the University Paris 8 from 1978 to 1989, then at Ircam, within the PhD programm in XXth Century Music and Musicology from 1991 to 1998. In his compositions he has used several of the formal resources of musical data processing in collaboration with Marcel Mesnage. They outlined a method of approach of the data-processing modeling of partitions. A choice of their writings will be published at the end of 2003 by Harmattan under the title : Formalimes et modèles musicaux.

He is vice-President of the Société Française d'Analyse Musicale (SFAM) from 1993 and was the founding President of the Société d'informatique musicale (called nowdays AFIM) from 1997 to 1999.
