Biography
Adrien Trybucki, composer born in Toulouse (France) in 1993, explores the fields of instrumental, vocal, electroacoustic and electronic music with a consistent will to forge and sculpt an incandescent sound material, driven by an impulsive and immutable energy. Through his works, he deploys a writing style that is both meticulous and vibrant, where structure becomes the site of a poetic emergence.
His musical universe is based on minimal particles, temporally replicated to give life to self-generated micro-organisms carrying an intrinsic obsession. The polyphonic unfolding of these sound automatons, from patient metronomic iteration to the fusion of material into braids saturating the acoustic space, draws abstract lines. An instinctive geometry, combining superpositions, juxtapositions, mutations, and alterations, highlights the idea of trajectory, which carries the architecture and musical dramaturgy. Thus, the apparent rigor of the automatism in writing paradoxically reveals its flaws, vertigo, and breaths, opening a space that is both lyrical and sensitive, where fragile weightlessness becomes the work’s main challenge.
His recent creations give increasing prominence to the voice, conceived as a sound material in intimate interaction with the musical structure. This approach is often accompanied by original textual writing, conceived jointly with the score, giving rise to a hybrid language between phonemes and phrases. Moreover, his artistic work occasionally incorporates a visual dimension, notably through video, which extends the instrumental gesture into the theatrical space.
After studying music in Toulouse, Trybucki obtained a master’s degree in composition at the National superior conservatory for music and dance in Lyon under Philippe Hurel, then joined the composition and computer music program at Ircam. Artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris (2018–2019) and then with the ensemble Court-circuit (2024), he receives commissions from numerous performers, ensembles, and institutions, while also being supported by by the writing grant for an original musical work of the French Ministry of Culture, the French National center for music and the French public commission program Mondes nouveaux.
Trybucki is the author of more than forty works, published by BabelScores and Durand-Universal, programmed in around fifteen countries worldwide — especially at many major festivals such as Manifeste, Présences, ensemble(s), Archipel, Lucerne, Cheltenham, Royaumont — and broadcast on various national radio stations across Europe. The virtuosity of his music is inseparable from the commitment of leading performers and ensembles with whom he regularly collaborates, who accompany the evolution of his language with rigor and loyalty.
He has received several distinctions, including the Île de créations prize (2014), the Francis and Mica Salabert Foundation prize (2018), as well as two awards from the French Academy of Fine Arts: the Nadia and Lili Boulanger prize (2019) and the Pierre Cardin prize (2024).
