"The Loud-speaker is probably the greatest common denominator in all our lives today. Video, multimedia, car radios, mobile phones are all crafting a new life for sound. In all domains sound is an objet of research, of reflexion.
It is essential to open up creative, imaginative spaces for sound. And to encourage people to listen." Christian Leblé. |

| PHONURGIA NOVA was set up in 1986 under the impetus of Pierre Schaeffer, co-creator of 'musique concrete', and is chaired since 1998 by Dominique Fargeot. PHONURGIA NOVA, whose name derives from the 17th century book by the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, is a non-profit trust based in the French City of Arles. Its main activity is the promotion of sound art and creativity in radio. |
