last week at
@quaibranly in paris, a spatial sound installation and original show soundtrack by
@stereo___image for
@etudesstudio @aigle exp-02, set design by
@avoir.ig, production by
@kitty_events.
following a poetic brief of just a few sentences (« moving through the landscape », « the presence of nature », « lines », « ascent / progression », « sensory », « encountering the mirage », « the cycle of a day », « human or animal presence »), i designed a complex soundscape paying hommage to walking, the main inspiration for my friends
@aurelien_arbet @jeremie_egry and
@joselamali’s collection, as well as the central movement of a fashion runway.
the 45-minute soundscape was composed of sounds evocative of the themes above, randomized bells, recordings of walking across various terrains, filtered drones modulated with « noise », and more. eventually, these distinct sources spread around the location synchronized in order to form a more rhythmic and theme-driven piece, in order to support a more intense walking segment, only to then disintegrate back into the soundscape, as if a storm had passed, or the « mirage » had disappeared.
sixteen sound sources were assigned to twenty-six l-acoustics x8 speakers and 12 sb15m subwoofers along the garden-turned-runway, creating an immersive augmentation of the garden’s natural soundscape, an already unique listening experience in the city due to the garden’s glass enclosure, which partially isolates it acoustically from the nearby road.
