EFFICACe (2013-2017) is a research and development project funded by the French National Research Agency.
The project explored the relations between computation, time and interactions in computer-aided music composition, using OpenMusic and other technologies developed at IRCAM and at CNMAT. Considering computer-aided composition out of its traditional "offline" paradigm, we tried to integrate compositional processes in structured interactions with their external context: interactions taking place during executions or performances, or at the early compositional stages (in the processes that lead to the creation of musical material). In this perspective we have studied reactive approaches for computer-aided composition, the notion of dynamic time structures in computation and music, rhythmic and symbolic time structures, and new modalities for the interactive control, visualisation and execution of sound synthesis and spatialization processes.
