Sound Fiction is an immersive concert and sound installation. In the space, the speakers are embedded inside benches specially designed for it, on which the audience sits and experiences the music through.

We designed a 36-meter rectangular bench, hollow on the inside, and mounted 16 elements on its inner front side. 

They were mapped in a way that each element had an individual output.  We wanted to focus on the physical experience of vibrations and create a different “listening” environment in which the audience feels the pitches, textures, timbres, and rhythms. The music can still be heard, but delicately and muffled, almost like from within a womb. We composed a one-hour sixtet for two synthesizer players, two percussionists, a vibraphone player, and a sound designer, which was performed live inside the space. The result was an immersive concert, but also a tactile sound platform that can stand on its own in different “listening” situations.
