Phoneidoscope is an immersive virtual reality installation that questions the relationship between body movement and sound perception.

Participants are invited to experience a virtual sonic environment in which sounds and instruments reveal themselves progressively in the space all around them. By physically exploring this space, the user adapts her/his listening position, gravitating towards certain sounds, restructuring the musical space (and mix) in real time.

In this context, listening becomes a dynamical multimodal experience, intimately linked to action and motion: each experience reveals music under a unique perspective.

Developed by James Leonard & Paul Plouchard within Eptagon. Musical pieces for the installation were created specifically by the collective’s artists.
