Éric Humbertclaude

As of 2017, he prepares the edition of the complete works, which he found, of the organist and composer Jean-Claude Touche (1926–1944), killed at a very young age by a German bullet at the end of the Second World War.

In 2013, he returned to his favorite instrument, the organ, for which he was preparing a project to create a new instrument, the 2020 organ, "adapted to modern times".

As an adult, he left his native region for Paris. At 21, he became an organist as occasional replacement of Léon Souberbielle at the organ of the choir of the Église de la Trinité, while attending the organ class of André Fleury at the Schola Cantorum de Paris. At the same time, he turned to contemporary music and, since the 1980s, frequented spectral composers such as Tristan Murail, Gérard Grisey and Hugues Dufourt.

Éric Humbertclaude (born 5 May 1961) is a French musician, organist, contemporary composer, writer and essayist, musicologist, researcher specializing in contemporary music and pipe organ music.

Interested in contemporary composition, he developed a computer platform to help with composition and wrote several books on musical creation. He wrote the first synthesis on the thought of Pierre Boulez and rediscovered the life and work of the musicographer Pyotr Suvchinsky, 5 October 1892 in St-Petersburg – 24 January 1985 in Paris.

Humbertclaude is the author of a work of microhistory about Federico Gualdi [it], alchemist and resident engineer of Venice around 1660.
