Oxyville

Oxyville is an electronic musical creation designed in 360° sound, exploring the connection between 3D audio and architectural space. Inspired by Luigi Russolo’s The Art of Noises and the works of Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer, Oxyville invites audiences to experience an imaginary city through sound alone.
In Oxyville, acoustics becomes the primary material for designing spaces. Within the installation, the audience is invited to close their eyes, where sounds, noises, and silences shape imaginary structures, allowing listeners to perceive invisible materials and become architects of their own mental cityscapes. The installation offers ten-minute immersive sessions using a dedicated sound spatialisation system, simulating different sonic architectures.
Oxyville takes listeners through contrasting acoustic atmospheres, from cathedral-like reverberations to anechoic chambers. This journey enables the audience to feel the scale, materials, and textures of imagined spaces, turning visitors into the architects of their unique sonic city. Oxyville ultimately invites reflection on the importance of acoustics in space creation and how sounds can become architecture’s raw materials.
