In 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Diadèmes” by Marc-André Dalbavie (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with an Award of Distinction.
"Diadèmes" is a commissioned work for the Ensemble Itinéraire and was composed in 1984. Its aim is to point out the possible relations between the electronic (numerical) world and the traditional world of instrumental music.
