Christian ZANESI (born in Lourdes in 1952).
A former student of Guy Maneveau and Marie-Françoise Lacaze (University of Pau, 1974–1975), then of Pierre Schaeffer and Guy Reibel (Paris Conservatory, 1976–1977). Since joining the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) at INA in 1977, he has engaged in numerous projects, creations, and collaborations. He has initiated many ventures in the fields of radio, publishing, and musical events, notably the PRÉSENCES électronique festival. Alongside Daniel Teruggi, he was the director of INA GRM until June 2015.
He has composed numerous electroacoustic pieces, frequently performed in concert, and since the 2000s has also developed a live music practice, performing solo or with many musicians from the experimental electronic scene. He has played with Christian Fennesz, Rom, Mika Vainio, Edward Perraud, Frederick Galiay, Thierry Balasse, Didier Petit, Philippe Foch, David Jisse, Maguelone Vidal, and Arnaud Rebotini. Since the 1990s, he has composed in his home studio, drawing inspiration from poetic encounters with remarkable sounds.
