Séance d'Hypnose at Centre Pompidou

For the “Soirées Sonore #5” at Centre Pompidou, Paris, I made a collaboration with the french sound designer/composer Théo Radakovitch.

The concept was to spatialize Théo’s piece “La Séance d’Hypnose” with Ambitools and a mobile Ambisonic playback system. Most of the piece was pre-spatialized and played back in loop while two monophonic tracks were left to spatialize as point sound sources. Thus, while the listeners could seat and enjoy the piece, one of them could control the trajectories and spatialize two of the sources with a remote. See also on Theo’s website.

The event went on Thursday May 16th 2018 inside the piece of art “Respirare l’Ombra” from Giuseppe Penone at Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Here are some pictures of the event:
