Tonnerre et Cavalcade: Spatial Audio in a Garden

The Château de Fontainebleau is hosting an outdoor contemporary art exhibition and I had the honour and pleasure of contributing to one of the installations.

The installation is called Tonnerre et Cavalcade and was conceived by sound artist Sébastien Jouan. It is a 15 minute multichannel composition that augments the natural sound field and is linked to the physical surroundings (such as a lightning-struck tree!). It is the only sound installation out of the many pieces being hosted!

I worked on the spatialisation of the piece along with various other elements of technical support, working with Sébastien to create a sense of immersion and a spatial narrative.

Grandeur Nature is currently open to visitors and runs until 17th September. Visit the Grandeur Nature page for more information on how to visit.
