The Female Composers of the GRM

Part of the Festival “Heroines of Sound”

  • Dialogue
approx. 90 minutes

Keynote: Reinhold Friedl (musician, Berlin/Vienna)

Participants: Beatriz Ferreyra (composer, Berlin), Reinhold Friedl, Christine Groult (composer, Paris), Clara Maïda (composer, Paris/Berlin), Bettina Wackernagel (Heroines of Sound, Berlin)

The second panel in the “Heroines of Sound” festival is dedicated to the female pioneers involved in the French “Groupe de Recherches Musicales” (GRM). Although there were always many female composers in this group, founded by Pierre Schaeffer in 1958, they were never really able to gain recognition within the group. And by no means were they singular occurrences. Female composers in early electronic music were numerous and successful. They founded and directed studios for electronic music, influencing the sound of their own and later generations of musicians. The panel participants will discuss both the situation in the second half of the 20th century as well as today.

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
