The sound installation Acoustic Field Line was produced especially for FIMU festival by the Espace Multimédia Gantner for “Le Manège”, an old building in Belfort (France), one of the festival’s key venues.
The sound installation consists in 6 resonator pipes, each equipped with a loudspeaker, emitting a range of sound frequencies to excite the acoustics of the surrounding exhibition space. The installation forms a 34 meters long line in the center of the room, while the constant sound of tens of sine waves simultaneously playing in different pitches saturate the acoustic spectrum between 50Hz and 8KHz creating a sound field diffused in the architectural environment. Acoustic Field Line offers the visitors an immersive and captivating sound experience exploring the variations in acoustic response of the architecture by freely moving in the space, letting their sense of space guide them while listening to the sound reflections in the building.
