General presentation
The music section offers access to two fully-equipped rooms for individual or band practice, in which several musical instruments are available (drums, guitar, bass guitar, piano, keyboard/synthesizer) with the appropriate sound equipment (mixing desk, speakers, amplifiers for instruments), as well as recording equipment (microphones in particular).
These 2 rooms allow :
- to come and practice with a music band;
- to come and practice instrument(s) that some of us not always lucky enough to have at home (i.e. some doctoral students/post-doctoral fellows do not have the means to bring their equipment back to their accommodation in the region);
- to organize jam sessions that allow several agents to gather around a musical style or theme;
- to create music bands between agents who wish to do so;
- if necessary, during internal or external events (e.g. music festival), to quickly set up one or more Inria groups to perform at these events;
- to make amateur recordings (demos).
Equipment can be loaned for use outside Inria (without restricting the local use of the music room).
Conditions to access to the music room
Music is played every working day between 12:00 and 14:00 or after 17:00.
On holidays and weekends, music can be played at the same hours and under the same conditions as the the rest of the site.
The music rooms are located in the Ampère building : A110 for group practice, A101 for individual practice.
To access the two music rooms you must:
- carefully read, fill out and sign the form (pdf format or doc format) and the charter of use (pdf format or doc format),
- subscribe to the agos-musique mailing list (Inria’s SYMPA mailing list),
- contact Laurent Busé, Luc Hogie and David Rey to meet them in order to give them the two forms and have a little chat with one of them.
Once registered, your badge will allow you to access room A110 and you will be allowed to pick up the key at the guard post for access to room A101.

Equipment loan
The room’s equipment can be borrowed upon request for recording, home practice and concerts. Each loan is made by filling out a loan form (pdf format or doc format) with a detailed list of the desired equipment to be sent in advance (a few days before the loan if possible) to Laurent Busé, Luc Hogie and David Rey.
