Acousmonium
Sound Installation – with Random Studio for Bottega Veneta

A spatial listening experience inspired by the sonic installations of Francois Bayle for Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in the 70s.

Embedded in a reflective, inflatable structure, the Acousmonium created a 3 dimensional sonic landscape through an asymmetrical array of loudspeakers.

An atmospheric, evolving soundscape combined natural, acoustic and electronic sound material in a spatial composition with the mix dependent upon the listener’s position.

The 24-channel generative composition super-imposed different environments: from the Italian seaside to the streets of NYC and the hills of Jeju island in South Korea - woven together with field recordings, flute and vocals from Seungmin Cha.

The installation was conceived and designed by Random Studio for Bottega Veneta.
