Life

Mariétan studied with Pierre Boulez , Bernd Alois Zimmermann , Gottfried Michael Koenig , Henri Pousseur and Karlheinz Stockhausen . His earliest works are stylistically determined by serialism . In the 1960s he developed notation techniques that integrated improvisation into classical composition spelling, from the 1970s onwards he increasingly dealt with issues of acoustic pollution, noise pollution and - in collaboration with well-known architects, acousticians and environmental engineers - with scientific and artistic approaches in urban planning projects.

In 1966 he founded the Groupe d'Étude et Réalisation Musicales (GERM) and in 1979 the "Laboratoire Acoustique et Musique Urbaine de l'École d'Architecture de Paris La Villette", which he headed until 1990.

Mariétan taught from 1969 to 1988 at the Paris University (I and VIII) and in 1993 at the École d'Architecture de Paris la Villette. Between 1972 and 1977 he was director of the Conservatoire de Garges (Région parisienne) and also lectured at the universities of Lille, Barcelona, ​​Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, San Diego as well as at the École Hautes Études Sociales Paris, the Écoles Nationales Supérieures des Beaux- Arts et d'Architecture in Paris, Besançon and Marseilles and the École Polytechnique de Lausanne.

In 1977 Mariétan received the 3rd prize of the Beethoven Prize of the city of Bonn.
