Real Time Music is a training organisation devoted to real-time composition and improvisation. Claude Whipple founded its Soundpainting training programme, which he teaches alongside Walter Thompson, the creator of the language, François Jeanneau and Éric Chapelle.
The programme
Called “Soundpainting: teaching and creation”, the programme is for musicians, dancers, actors, visual artists and teachers. It runs in four five-day blocks (30 hours each), each leading to a level of certification:
- Block 1 · Getting started: the fundamental signs and syntax, no prerequisites.
- Block 2 · Going further in music: advanced signs.
- Block 3 · Opening up to other disciplines: dance, theatre, visual arts.
- Block 4 · Going further across disciplines: advanced composition.
Between blocks, trainees keep their practice going at La Palette, Claude Whipple’s monthly workshop in Montreuil.
Schedules, fees, funding and registration: on the Real Time Music website (in French).
