Biography
Jean-Luc Hervé studied at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Paris with Gérard Grisey. His doctoral thesis in aesthetics and a research period at IRCAM allowed him to articulate a theoretical framework around his compositional practice. A residency at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto marked a turning point in his work, followed in 2003 by a DAAD residency in Berlin. In 2004, he co-founded the Biotop(e) initiative with Thierry Blondeau and Oliver Schneller. Much of his current work focuses on site-specific concert-installations.
