La Muse en circuit (LMC) is a French electroacoustic music center, established in 1982 by Luc Ferrari.. LMC is one of the six national centers for musical creation in France, as part of national network Futurs Composés, and Profédim union of independent music producers, festivals, ensembles and promoters. Since 2013, composer, stage director, and videographer Wilfried Wendling serves as its director.
LMC is supporting the creation of innovative sound art including interdisciplinary projects with literature and spoken word, theatre, dance, and visual arts. LMC has five fully equipped working spaces for their composers-in-residence, and actively conducts a scientific and applied research in digital music technology.
Originally established by the composer Luc Ferrari in Vanves near Paris, as an electroacoustic facility for radio art, relocated to a larger space in Alfortville in 1992. In 1999, radio producer at Radio France David Jisse, a long-time Ferrari's partner, became a new director of LMC. Under his direction, the studios expanded their activities beyond radio art, and embraced all forms of innovative music. Jisse also established Extension festival in 2001, and launched Alamuse label for LMC's productions. LMC also hosts concerts and workshops, and hosts bi-annual competition for international radio art.
LMC is funded by the Ministère de la culture et de la communication / DRAC Île-de-France, the Regional Council of Île-de-France, the General Council Val-de-Marne, the city of Alfortville, the city of Paris, SACEM and the DAAC of Créteil.
