DUMONT Aurélien

Né en 1980

“Aurélien Dumont’s music already achieves the ideal of many innovators: it is constantly being discovered. Literally, through a continuous service to the unheard-of.” Pierre Gervasoni, Le Monde, March 30, 2018.
In 2020, he received the Confirmation Prize in Musical Composition from the Fondation Simone et Cino Del Duca of the Institut de France, and in 2022, the New Talent Music Prize from SACD.
His three monographic albums, While (2015, NoMadMusic), Stillness (2018, Odradek – Grand Prix International du Disque de l’Académie Charles Cros) and Tide (2020, NoMadMusic) have received unanimous critical acclaim.

Biography

Aurélien Dumont (b. 1980) holds a doctorate in musical composition from the SACRe program of the École Normale Supérieure de Paris, the Université Paris Sciences et Lettres and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. He also studied at IRCAM (courses 1 and 2 in composition and computer music) and was a resident at the Académie de France in Rome – Villa Médicis – in 2017/2018.

His music is conceived as a cartography of musical objects in resonance with other arts and philosophy, in particular with the concepts of François Jullien. It is based on the opening of gap(s) between heterogeneous elements and on the elaboration of rapprochements of distant realities: the close link he cultivates with Japan and pop-culture is expressed in the course of his works. Live performance is central to his work, and he sets to music the words of Antoine Volodine, Annie Ernaux and poet Dominique Quélen, with whom he has forged a long-term collaboration.

Aurélien Dumont’s research focuses on the notion of otherness and its various forms of expression in the field of music, and is the subject of several articles published by PUF, Editions de l’Observatoire, Actes Sud and others. His scores appear in the catalog of Artchipel music publishing house.

He has won several international competitions and prizes, including those awarded by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Fondation Simone et Cino Del Duca, SACEM, SACD, San Fedele in Milan and the Takefu International Music Festival in Japan. In 2023, he won the vote of middle-school students for the 24th Grand Prix Lycéen des Compositeurs.

His three monographic albums, While (2015, NoMadMusic), Stillness (2018, Odradek – Grand Prix International du Disque de l’Académie Charles Cros) and Tide (2020, NoMadMusic) have been unanimously acclaimed by music critics.
