No Dialogue

Created in the PatchXR sound synthesis environment, the immersive piece by Raphaël Raccuia and Nicolas Carrel invites listeners on an upward journey into a world populated by “celibate machines”.

Partners

In order to highlight the high-tech world of virtual reality and maintain a respectful and critical distance from the promises of the metaverse, the duo deliberately uses analog sounds, creating an emotionally charged and intimate composition. On each floor of the exhibition, the musical offering evolves, reactivated by the live presence of a double bass/oboe duo, in a dynamic exchange between performance and digital environment.
