A Music Matters message board Host is dangling the worm of a programme about IRCAM before us on the Music Matters message board of the other side:

 But I would have thought a refusal to accept the invitation indicates that we are not interested in new music and vindicates the decision not to dedicate a board to the subject. Since we have been asked for our opinion of modern music why not use the MM board to discuss modern music? VL, IP and others could keep up a very interesting thread around 'IRCAM'  without being off-topic and, if nothing else, highlight the need for a knowledgable host and a new board to cover this subject -swallow the bait and go with it, see if they reel us in.

 Sorry oliver, didn't understand feelings were running quite so high. The fact that a Host brought up IRCAM must have put me off balance.

 I just thought.... oh well.  Mind you,I am not even a member of the new bbc Board much happier to sit here reading your erudite, friendly posts.

Sorry if that post Over There was a bit snappy... but I did very much want to point out that my disinclination to participate had nothing to do with lack of interest in either the specific or the general topic. I'm ticked off that they've stuck all our words in a filing cabinet in a back room you can only reach by climbing through the toilet window and having wiped the New Music board completely come chirping along to pick our brains for a programme. And the kind of programme it's going to be seems reasonably clear not only from stuff like "a lot of money and time was poured into it not necessarily to the delight of everyone" but from the sheer ineptitude of the punctuation.

And voix is feminine by the way.

Want to do an interesting programme on IRCAM? Talk to the composers who've been there about the lecturers, the software, the acoustic research (the simulated trumpet lips!), the recording studios, Studio E (a nearby pub - at least when I first visited the studios actually in the building were A to D). Don't rehash all the boring old clichés about Boulez' Bunker, put a human face on the place. Give me a decent tape recorder, something to edit with and a few hours spread over a few months and you'll have a side of IRCAM we don't all know already.

(If you want to tell them Over There about that go right ahead. No danger of them pinching the idea anyway.)
