Habitat Sonore at Centre Phi| Summer playlist and ideal venue for active, immersive listening

Interview by Salima Bouaraour
Genres and styles : expérimental / contemporain / Indie Pop

Additional Information

Returning to the pleasure of active listening, settling into a room that’s totally conducive to immersive listening. At Centre Phi, we built Habitat Sonore, a 16-speaker room with a Dolby Atmos mixing system for optimal active listening to music. Several listening programs are put forward, including a recent sound documentary on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memory, an experimental re-reading of the band Wake Island’s Born To Leave album, and very soon the MOOD RING album by singer KALLITECHNIS, not to mention the main topic of this conversation, a summer playlist of 15 songs by Montreal artists, superbly remixed for the purposes of the exercise. For PAN M 360, our colleague Salima Bouaraour talks to Phi Centre’s creative sound supervisor, Philippe Rochefort, and Phi Centre programming director, Renelle Desjardins.
