Enter the sound! That is the principle that inspires our artistic director when he is creating instruments and sound worlds. This creative act is what takes possession of him, from designing a sound-maker all the way to creating new works for it. And that’s how it’s been since our inception in 2003. The sounds coming out of the instruments invented by Jean-François Laporte allow us to investigate the relationship between sound and matter and to think about the sound experience in a different way.
We have explored this sonic experience in many different ways, so join us! Take a tour of our website and discover the sound worlds that make us vibrate!
