Composer and computer scientist, fellow traveler of IRCAM since the beginning of the 1980s, Marco Stroppa is an artist for whom musical invention is inseparable from the exploration of new scientific and technological arenas. His series of works for solo instrument and chamber electronics (including little i, I will not kiss your f.ing flag, and ... of silence) offers the opportunity to explore novel methods for projecting sound in the concert hall and renew the computer paradigms that regulate the relationship between the worlds of instrumental and synthesized sounds.

The seventh short film in the "Images of a Work" series endeavors to understand a work through excerpts of rehearsals and interviews with the artists in the IRCAM studios.
