About Camino
Voces Boreales est heureux de vous présenter leur projet immersif, Camino. Inspiré par le Camino francés de Compostelle — la vénérable route des pèlerins de Saint-Jacques dans le nord de l’Espagne — Camino est un cheminement intérieur dont on ressort transformé.
Camino, une expérience sonore 360° exceptionnelle, exploite la technologie de pointe pour donner la possibilité au public de plonger dans le chef d’œuvre choral Path of Miracles de Joby Talbot. Les 18 haut-parleurs, à travers lesquels les visiteurs peuvent circuler librement, sont dédiés aux 16 voix individuelles du chœur, tandis que 2 haut-parleurs supplémentaires projettent le son du chœur complet. Ainsi, l’auditeur peut tantôt apprécier l’intensité des harmonies d’ensemble, tantôt la simplicité du timbre d’un seul des chanteurs, explorant ainsi de vastes perspectives sonores.
Cette approche novatrice redéfinit l’expérience de concert, traditionnellement passive, et propose une participation sémillante et un moment d’exaltation.
Voces Boreales is proud to present their immersive project, Camino. Inspired by the Camino francés of Santiago de Compostela — the venerable pilgrimage route in northern Spain — Camino speaks of a transformative inner journey.
Camino, a unique 360-surround sound experience, uses cutting-edge technology to draw the public into the mystical and introspective choral masterpiece Path of Miracles by Joby Talbot. The 18 speakers, through which visitors can walk freely, are dedicated to the 16 individual choir voices, with 2 additional speakers projecting the sound of the full choir. As they step into the center of the installation, their senses move from the unique timbre of each singer to the awe-inspiring unity of the whole ensemble’s — offering a rare glimpse into an immersive and transformative soundscape.
This groundbreaking approach to music performance reshapes the experience of the concert-goer, from traditionally passive to thrillingly active.
