Designed by Cie Atelier de papier, this Gyrophone is a 360° mechanical diffusion system, made up of 12 loudspeakers fixed to a rotating axis around which the audience lies.
For this device, Canadian composer Ben Shemie, who is constantly on the lookout for innovative conceptual experiments and different diffusion systems, imagined a project based on natural aquatic phenomena (rising waters, rainfall...). The generative music evolves live in this singular sound universe. Like the tide, without beginning or end, the Gyrophone becomes a musician, a composer, an improviser.
