“A renewed beginning,” the inscription read, etched into the stone facade of Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry. Those words, etched in stone, speak volumes about the legacy of Pierre Henry, the father of musique concrète. Right here, in this very building at 3 Passage Hennel, the spirit of sonic innovation thrives. It’s a far cry from the bustling streets of central Paris, tucked away in the 12th arrondissement. But don’t be fooled by the quiet exterior. Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry is a hotbed of creativity, a place where sound is sculpted, molded, and brought to life in radical ways. Founded in 1982 under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture, Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry was a lifeline for the composer, allowing him to continue pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Before this space, Henry worked in Studio Apsome, the first private electronic music studio in France, a pioneering venture he co-founded. But when Apsome’s equipment became outdated, the Ministry stepped in, recognizing the importance of Henry’s work. They helped him establish Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry, equipping it with state-of-the-art technology to fuel his sonic explorations. Today, Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry isn’t just a studio; it’s a living testament to Henry’s artistic vision, a place where his legacy resonates through the halls. The association strives to uphold his innovative spirit by supporting the creation and promotion of electroacoustic, electronic, and digital music. They organize concerts and events, fostering collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of sonic art. Moreover, Son/r\u00e9 & Pierre Henry houses a treasure trove – the entire musical collection of Pierre Henry’s work. A legacy meticulously preserved and celebrated. As you stand here, imagine the groundbreaking sounds that have emanated from this unassuming building, a testament to the enduring power of creativity and the evocative world of musique concrète.
