Résumé : During the 1950s/1960s, the evolution of musical creation was stimulated by its confrontation with new technologies. It emerged profoundly disrupted. By observing its not-so-distant history, it appears as a crucible precursor of research-creation that can today be considered a real avant-garde in the field. From the first radio experiments in concrete music to the beginning of computer music, from the first groups of artists, researchers, technicians to the emergence of creation and research studios throughout France, the dynamics of the interaction between research and creation has never ceased to blossom. This paper bears witness to this history and observes the modalities of all kinds that have allowed its emergence, its developments, and its swarming, up to the recognition by the establishment of the public policies of the National Centers of Musical Creation. It also seeks to show the dynamics that result from this, currently at work and which aim to construct a civic approach to the relationship between arts, sciences, technologies and society.
