Jean-Louis Giavitto (Senior Scientist, French National Centre for Scientific Research; Researcher, IRCAM's Mixed Research Laboratory in Sciences and Technologies of Music and Sound)

Jean-Louis Giavitto is a Senior Computer Scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a researcher in IRCAM's research lab in Sciences and Technologies of Music and Sound (a joint lab between IRCAM, CNRS and Sorbonne Universités - UPMC Univ Paris 06 and INRIA Rocquencourt MuTant project). He is co-founder and former director of the IBISC laboratory in Computer Science, System Biology and Complex Systems at the University of Evry in the south of Paris.

One research direction developed by Jean-Louis Giavitto is the building of topological objects to represent various musical objects and processes in musical composition, with the aim of using the spatial vocabulary to capture harmonic and melodic properties, the notion of style, or the architecture of a musical piece at several levels. His research work includes also the development of a programming language for the management of real-time musical interactions between musicians and computers in the context of Antescofo, a score following system used at IRCAM for the production of mixed pieces.
