In 1993 he was selected and commissioned a work by Ircam. and studied at the French Academy in Rome (1993 to 1995). His music is frequently broadcast in France and internationally. He received many commands from diverse institutions ( Ircam, Itinéraire, Radio-France, Nuova Arca, «La filature» de Mulhouse, State commands, etc.).
Compositional Techniques
François uses different forms of equal temperament in his music. Where 12 tone equal temperament is based on semitones ascending by root 2, Parisi uses other root values, such as 1.2, 1.6 and 2.4, in order to stretch and shrink the temperament of the composition.
