Inner Soundscape is a dynamic project which can takes various types of manifestation: performance, indoor or outdoor installation. The title suggests a musical or sonic work evocative of imaginary spaces, proposal of listening at a not representational soundscape, with multiple possible referents. The piece articulates on a double device: on one hand an electroacoustic four tracks sequence using physical modeling synthesis, on the other hand the dispersal in the space of objects (boxes, bird cages, bags...) in which are inserted small autonomous sound systems. Sound parts, generally compose with fm synthesis, are loaded into those systems with the goal to offer a narrative purpose. The characteristic of these objects is not only the nature of the sounds that live in them, but also the way of placing in the space. These traps objects constitute a central element in the installation, offering an extension towards multiple territories of sound images and also an original approach of spatialization. This installation aims to provoke the imagination of the representation of sounds, which would articulate around possible fictions: the inner soundscapes.
