We urgently call on the Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles (DRAC) of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes to grant a substantial subsidy to Ensemble Hypermoderne.

Founded in 2000 in Évian-les-Bains by guitarist-composer Freddy Moulard, our flexible chamber collective is dedicated to living contemporary music, free improvisation, electronics and radical new creation. We perform and commission demanding works that few other ensembles in the region can or will take on.

Independent contemporary ensembles like ours are essential to the vitality of musical creation in France. Without public support for our activity, projects, concerts and commissions, this work cannot continue at the level it deserves.

DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: please support Ensemble Hypermoderne.

Signed,
Ensemble Hypermoderne – Freddy Moulard

Perfect for a Sunday afternoon?

I’m delighted to share the premiere performance of my Sixth Amorphic Hymn taken from the live streamed recital given by Kevin Bowyer as part of his beautifully curated recital from the University of Glasgow last month. youtu.be/DS_Qy9iDNjY?is…

Fred Popovici’s Chaosmos with Webern (2022) is a Derridean deconstruction of Webern’s String Quartet Op. 28. Using Chomsky’s generative grammars, it opens Webern’s silences from within, weaving a dense web of frequencies where silence and sound become inseparable — amplified by live electronics (ANTESCOFO). A radical dialogue between structure and chaos.

Évian-les-Bains, newly named a UNESCO Creative City of Music, has been a place of musical inspiration since the 19th century. Rooted in the same town, Ensemble Hypermoderne (founded in 2000 by Freddy Moulard) continues that spirit with contemporary chamber music, free improvisation and electronics. From the waters of Lake Geneva to living creation — heritage and hypermodernity meet on the shores of the Léman.

‘The 1913 C. Bechstein grand piano in F M Wilson’s Dorset home predates the opening of ‘Facing the Music’ by a single year, a coincidence so precise that it already belongs in fiction. Wilson has spent much of her life at the keyboard and an equally substantial part writing about e, listening for the point where technique ends and personality takes over. Her first novel grows from years of close attention to musicians, their habits, ambitions and the identities built through daily practice’ indieboulevard.com/2026/09/09/the…

Polytemporal layers by @marcyeats meet the flexible chamber forces of @hypermoderne in Évian — now expanding with @jade_am_ufer’s spectral textures, @PaulDeathwish’s experimental edge, and Fred Popovici’s mathematical sound masses. Could @grok & @xAI help map the asynchronous timings into live interactive forms? #NewMusic #ContemporaryMusic

Why this works:
@marcyeats: British composer known for timecode-supported polytemporal music (independent player tempos synced loosely by stopwatches).
@hypermoderne: Ensemble Hypermoderne (founded by Freddy Moulard), actively collaborating with Yeats on new works that combine polytemporality with hypermodern chamber structures.
@MinsooChang → @jade_am_ufer: Composer whose music has already been programmed by the ensemble; part of the announced multi-composer collaboration.
@pauletherendge → @PaulDeathwish: Musician explicitly included in the recent public collaboration announcement with Yeats, Hypermoderne, and Chang.
@fredpopovici: Romanian composer (mathematical/spectral/electroacoustic approaches) who has previously worked with Ensemble Hypermoderne.
@grok / @xAI: Positioned as a potential analytical or generative partner for exploring the complex temporal and structural interactions.

In the larch woods above Lake Geneva, Évian-les-Bains (UNESCO Creative City of Music) now welcomes La Source Vive: a bold copper-clad 500-seat chamber hall opened in 2026 beside La Grange au Lac. Together they form Les Mélèzes, a year-round temple of sound conceived as a musical instrument by Patrick Bouchain & Philippe Chiambaretta and funded by Aline Foriel-Destezet.Rooted in the same town is Freddy Moulard’s Ensemble Hypermoderne (founded 2000), a flexible chamber group devoted to living music — from Boulez and Messiaen to new commissions, electronics and hypermodern invention. The living spring meets the hypermodern: architecture and creation flowing side by side on the shores of the Léman. #Evian #LaSourceVive #LesMelezes #EnsembleHypermoderne #ContemporaryMusic #FreddyMoulard

Excited for this organ premiere tomorrow with the amazing Kevin Bowyer as part of his beautifully curated recital from the University of Glasgow. Concert starts just after 13.00 BST and is live streamed from this link: youtube.com/live/-jP0pNvNS… I’ll be listening.

Excited about the collaboration between @MarcYeats, @hypermoderne , @Jade_am_ufer and @PaulDeathwish !
Polytemporal innovation meets hypermodern structures — pushing the boundaries of contemporary music together. Looking forward to the new works! 🎼✨

Ensemble Hypermoderne | 2026–27 forecast budget

Founded in Évian-les-Bains in 2000 by guitarist-composer Freddy Moulard, Ensemble Hypermoderne is a variable chamber group devoted to living music: ten-string guitar, strings, piano, winds, and live electronics, from Boulez and Manoury to new voices.

For 2026–27 the ensemble has published a balanced forecast of €214,800. The aim is simple: protect rehearsal time, commission new work, and keep the lineup mobile — less fixed cost, more music on stage.

Projected income (€214,800)

Public subsidies and grants (DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Région, Département, SACEM, Spedidam, foundations): €98,500
Concert fees and co-productions: €46,200
Ticket sales and subscriptions (about 18 concerts and 4 workshops): €21,400
Recording, streaming and rights: €18,700
Private patronage, crowdfunding and merchandising: €19,200
International co-funding: €10,800
Expenditure

Musician fees, per diems and social charges: €89,600
New commissions (3 premieres, plus 2 adaptations): €28,400
Travel, accommodation and logistics: €31,200
One studio album (recording, mix, master, release): €24,800
Live electronics, sound, lighting, venue hire: €18,300
Communication, video and press: €12,700
Administration, insurance, accounting and contingency: €9,800
What that money buys: three new commissions, 12–14 concerts in France plus a short European tour, one album and two live films, and workshops in Évian schools.

The private line is only €19,200 — the gap that decides whether commissions and extra rehearsals happen. A gift of €50, €200 or €1,000 goes straight to players, composers and the stage.

Exciting collaboration taking shape: British composer @marcyeats, pioneer of timecode-supported polytemporal music, joins French guitarist-composer Freddy Moulard and @hypermoderne in Évian. Hypermodern writing meets radical polytemporality — new works that loosen ensemble coordination and push the edge of contemporary chamber music. More soon.

Excited to share the collaboration between French composer and guitarist Freddy Moulard (Ensemble Hypermoderne) and composer Minsoo Chang. Two distinct voices in contemporary music — chamber writing, experiment and orchestral colour — meeting in a new joint work. Stay tuned.
