- Jean-Jacques Birgé (born 5 November 1952) is an independent French musician and filmmaker, at once music composer (co-founder of Un Drame Musical Instantané with which he records about 30 albums, as well as for movies, theater, dance, radio), film director (La nuit du phoque, Sarajevo a Street Under Siege, The Sniper), multimedia author (Carton, Machiavel, Alphabet), sound designer (exhibitions, CD-Roms, websites, Nabaztag, etc.), founder of record label GRRR. Specialist of the relations between sound and pictures, he has been one of the early synthesizer players and home studio creators in France in 1973, and with Un d.m.i. the initiator of the return of silent movies with live orchestra in 1976. His records show the use of samplers since 1980 and computers since 1985. Since 1995, this polymath has become a sound designer in all multimedia areas and interactive composition. Hardly classifiable musically, he may be likened to the encyclopedist current, such as Charles Ives, İlhan Mimaroğlu, Frank Zappa, René Lussier, Francois Sarhan, Jonathan Pontier, Jim O'Rourke or John Zorn who are mostly self-taught composers. His compositions follow cinematographic syntax more than the laws of harmony and counterpoint! He has been writing a daily blog since 2005, actually on Mediapart, with more than 5000 articles. (en)
- Jean-Jacques Birgé (né le 5 novembre 1952 à Paris) est un artiste français indépendant, à la fois compositeur de musique (cofondateur d’Un drame musical instantané), réalisateur de films, auteur multimédia, écrivain, designer sonore, fondateur du label de disques GRRR. Spécialiste des rapports entre le son et l'image, ce polymathe fut l'un des premiers synthésistes et créateurs du home studio en France dès 1973, et avec Un d.m.i. le précurseur du retour au ciné-concert en 1976. Ses disques attestent de son utilisation d'échantillonneurs (samplers) dès 1980 et de la M.A.O. (Musique assistée par ordinateur) dès 1985. À partir de 1995, il devient l'un des designers sonores les plus en vogue du multimédia et le spécialiste de la composition musicale interactive. Difficilement classable musicalement, il appartient à la lignée des compositeurs encyclopédistes, comme Charles Ives, (en), Frank Zappa, René Lussier, François Sarhan, Jonathan Pontier, Jim O'Rourke ou John Zorn, tous atypiques et souvent autodidactes. Son langage tient plus de la syntaxe cinématographique que des lois de l'harmonie et du contrepoint ! (fr)
