MUSICAL EXPLORATION,
multidimensional educational method for music
created by Dominique Barthassat

The multidimensional approach to music combines the dimensions of body, eye and instrument, integrating new technologies of sound. Thus a dynamic environment is created for musical apprenticeship (piano –music created by computer) by developing the faculties of improvisation and composition.

The creation of a pilot space in Geneva, the Centre d'Exploration Musicale, permits to amplify this phenomenon thanks to its novel scenic device which can be modulated. It helps to dynamise the approach to music.
