Philippe Manoury
Philippe Manoury (born 1952 in Tulle) is a French composer known for music that joins acoustic instruments to real-time electronics. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Michel Philippot, Ivo Malec and Claude Ballif, and computer-assisted composition with Pierre Barbaud. From the early 1980s he worked at IRCAM, where he and Miller Puckette developed systems in which the computer follows a live performer, used in the Sonus ex machina cycle. The Sonus ex machina cycle includes Jupiter for flute, Pluton for piano and Neptune for percussion.
