Philippe Manoury

Pilippe Manoury (19th June, 1952) is a French composer who was born in Tulle. From 1975 he undertook studies in computer assisted composition with Pierre Barbaud. He joined IRCAM in 1980.

Works such as Sound and Fury are of interest because of the use of computer assisted composition. Sound and Fury also uses a very large orchstra, which is symettrically disposed, and makes quite extensive use of left-right spatial effects.

His works include:

• Zeitlauf (1982)
• 60e Parallèle (an opera: 1995-1997)
• Sound and Fury (1998-1999)
