Summer Contemporary Music Creation + Critique

I took the course offered at IRCAM through CIEE and it was nothing short of incredible. What stood out to me was how accessible a world-renowned institution was for international students, and how simple it was to apply for such a transformative artistic experience. As creators, artists, and musicians, we are always searching for the next thing to excite our ambitions and inspire us to push the bounds of creation. If you are a musician looking to expand your horizons (especially in the electronic music realm) this program will impact you infinitely. The course instructor is patient, eager to help, and empathic. I was afraid to take this course as it seemed out of my bounds of possibility/too advanced, but he made me feel comfortable in the learning process and hopeful. The weekend trips were absolutely transformative, I don't think I will ever stop talking about the grandiosity of the Cyclops and the beauty of Château de Fontainebleau.
