INSTALLATION
Synopsis
Inspired by the Camino francés of Santiago de Compostela — the venerable pilgrimage route in northern Spain — Camino speaks of a transformative inner journey.
Camino, a unique 360-surround sound experience, uses cutting-edge technology to draw the public into the mystical and introspective choral masterpiece Path of Miracles by Joby Talbot.
18 speakers are dedicated to the 18 voices of the choir, amongst which the visitors walk freely. As they step into the center of the installation, their senses move from the unique timbre of each singer to the awe-inspiring unity of the whole ensemble’s — offering a rare glimpse into an immersive and transformative soundscape. This groundbreaking approach to music performance reshapes the experience of the concert-goer, from traditionally passive to thrillingly active.
The placement of the 18 speakers is fully adjustable and can be adapted to a variety of spaces, from an amphitheater or church to a museum room. Our team can assist with the planning and installation according to your spaces and needs.
“If you have the soul of a pilgrim or simply enjoy delving into a sonic universe that intimates the feeling of infinity, this spectacle for the eyes and ears is made for you.”
