Mediterranean Sound Journey by Ircam x Centre Pompidou

Through a Sound Odyssey, Ircam and Ircam Amplify invite visitors to explore the sensations of the Mediterranean and discover new imaginary or real soundscapes. An 11:30-minute immersive format will allow visitors to encounter, with their eyes closed, the richness and diversity of the Mediterranean.‍

Crossing this crossroads of languages, cultural and cultic practices, this sound journey in the Mediterranean takes in both urban and natural spaces, sound and living heritage. This sonic journey explores the way in which creation also questions the contemporary challenges of this territory on the move.
