Closing event (2025-06-20)

At Aéronef

The night opened with free demonstrations by Arthur Paté (Junia -- offline version of the device we developed and use in live conditions), Alban Briceno (Vibstra -- Pacini 8 device), and Enrico Raso, as well as an immersive installation by Collectif Orbe & Contour Progressif + Mylène Benoît.
The climax of the night was the show/conference by Mur du son , introducing the audience to Deaf culture and music, before concluding by a short musical performance. This was followed by two shows (Cymatic Orchestra + UNSS, the later sign singed by Osc'Art ) during which the portable vibrotactile devices we built were made available to the audience.

Concert #6 (2025-05-16)

At Bonjour Minuit in Saint-Brieuc for the show by Edge + Rambo

Alban Briceno (Vibstra ) presented his Pacini 8 device, allowing to compose vibrotactile music and to display it over 8 embedded devices; our team presented an offline version of the TOTEM device; and we had the pleasure to have Osc'Art sign singing Edge's show!! During the concert we've been testing our vibrating bar and our new portable prototypes!!

Concert #5 (2025-01-30)

At Aéronef (Lille, FR), during the shows by La Rue Kétanou/Les Ogres de Barback + Oaiao. Alban Briceno (Vibstra ) presented his Pacini 8 device, allowing to compose vibrotactile music and to display it over 8 embedded devices; our team presented an offline version of the TOTEM device; and we had the pleasure to have Osc'Art sign singing the whole show!!

Concert #4 (2023-04-05)

At Aéronef (Lille, FR), during the shows by Les DeuxLuxes + Daddy Long Legs. Enrico (Vedanity affair) started our side show with his "perceive the music differently" demonstrations, and then we had the pleasure to have 15 newcomers testing or vibrating devices: welcome!

2-day Residences

Residence #3 (2023-06-19/20)

The last residence took place at Aéronef, just before the closing event of the project, and 1 day ahead of the "Fête de la Musique"! The purpose of this residence was the final checks on the portable devices developed during the project, but most important it was the final rehearsal for Mur du Son's conference and show.

Residence #2 (2023-05-15/16)

The second residence was held at Aéronef. During two days we worked together on several topics: update on the project's progress (mainly about the sound-to-vibration devices), start designing the closing event for our project (in about 2 years from now... but better start early!), work/rehearsal for the band "Mur du Son", comparison of several vibrotactile devices, music visualization, etc.

Residence #1 (2022-04-19/20)

As a kickoff event for the project, we spent two days at Antre-deux (Université de Lille), Lille, FR, rediscovering the previous devices, and rebooting the development!
