Modulisme: Ragnar Grippe (Audio)
https://modular-station.com/modulisme/session/71/
Ragnar Grippe started playing Cello and a recording machine and entered the Stockholm University in 1971, classes in Musicology.
He spent a few months at the Electronic Music Studio in Stockholm, under the auspices of former director Knut Wiggen, who taught him to like the possibilites that must be inherent in this new medium, and advise him to join in the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris.
There he was listening to Pierre Schaeffer, “morphologie de sons”, testing working, trying the blends and mixes of sound.
From 1976, he kept working on multimedia projects, scored many films in the 80’s, and composed more modern dance pieces, performed in Paris and in Stockholm with the Cullberg Company ; worked at IRCAM (l’Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique) at Luciano Berio’s department for Electroacoustic Music. Music since 1981 has been composed to a large extent with the Synclavier as sound source, while prior to that the ”Buchla” Synthesizer was the mother to most sounds. We are happy to offer three works he believed may adequately represent his art while being connected with our love for analog Electronic music…
"Modulisme," formerly "Early ElectroMIX," is a platform that aims to support original composing, for analog modular systems but not only… A radio program airing music made using modular systems… Each program lasts one hour and is especially dedicated to one composer and features some exclusive music made for us.
