Patrick Ascione

Patrick Ascione (1953-2014) was a French acousmatic composer, born in Paris. After classical music studies he trained at the Groupe de musique expérimentale de Bourges and took courses in computer music at IRCAM. His work centred on spatial polyphony, writing the movement of sound across many loudspeaker channels as part of the composition, and many of his pieces were commissioned by Ina-GRM. Ascione worked at the Bourges studio until 1984.
