Bell Orchestre becomes immersive and interactive, House Music becomes Sound House at SAT

Interview by Alain Brunet

Additional Information

You enter the exhibition area and recognize modified versions of pieces from the album Sound House, recorded in Vermont in the home of violinist Sarah Neufeld and released on the Erased Tapes label in March 2021. Bell Orchestre breathes new life into this document by reshaping the tracks for interactive use with the AATOAA concert.

In this way, you walk through different stations in the exhibition, at the foot of which objects are placed. Each object can trigger a track on the master tape, modifying the mix in real time. Authentic audiovisual immersion!

Produced by Envision Management and realized by AATOAA, Vincent Morisset and Caroline Robert, Sound House is an interactive audiovisual installation. Sound House transforms itself according to the interactions generated by visitors. “A spatialized score is co-composed in real time from the original recording, while the time of day, seasons and places scroll by through the window.

Bell Orchestre Sound House is on view from June 7 to July 27 at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT). For PAN M 360, Alain Brunet met up with Vincent Morriset and Caroline Robert, designers of the installation, this time alongside two members of Bell Orchestre: horn player Pietro Amato, responsible for the installation’s sonic remodeling, and bassist and multi-instrumentalist – also co-founder of the band Arcade Fire, as we all know.
