Concept

Immersive exhibition about film soundtracks.
There are 4 black rooms, each one will offer a different experience to the visitor.
Plus, the visitor will have a Soundshirt which turns music into sensations and headphones all the way of the exhibition. (Learn more about the soundshirt)
There is an application to support the experience, visitor will have to answer questions on this app.

ROOM 1 : LISTEN

Visitors enter in a room plunged into darkness. They listen to the soundtrack and answer the quizz on the app downloaded before entering.
Then, the scene related to this soundtrack appears on the wall.

ROOM 2 : OBSERVE

This time, the experience immerges visitors in a film set, without any music. They just observe and answer the second quizz.
Then, the film soundtrack turns up.

ROOM 3 : QUIZZ

Now, visitors has to choose the music they think match the scene projected on the wall. (there will be 3 or 4 ‘test’)

ROOM 4 : COMPOSERS

For the last one, visitors are invited to assist to a short documentary about film soundtracks’ history, power of music, composers and fun facts.
