Production, mixing, and spatialization of the sound content for the permanent exhibition spaces of the French Pavilion during the World Expo.<\/strong><\/p>

Opened on April 13, 2025, the World Expo returns to Japan in the city that hosted it 55 years ago. Among the countries investing in Yumeshima, the artificial island created to host the exhibition pavilions, is France.<\/p>

The pavilion offers a tour highlighting craftsmanship and artistic creation through eight tableaux\u2014visual, sculptural, and sonic\u2014woven together into a single narrative thread.
This narrative thread is carried by the soundscape, with each space in the French Pavilion pulsing to the rhythm of its own three-and-a-half-minute adaptive and immersive sound tableau. All synchronized to the same tempo, the exhibition is experienced as a single, continuous, and evolving journey.<\/p>

Une visite virtuelle de l’exposition est disponible, avec une \u00e9coute en audio binaural sur : https:\/\/franceosaka2025-tour.fr\/<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Avec L\u2019IRCAM, Yann s\u2019est vu confier la r\u00e9alisation des contenus sonores de l’exposition. Travail de longue haleine, il s\u2019est d\u00e9clin\u00e9 en trois \u00e9tapes :<\/p>

The creation of the sound diffusion system<\/strong>, en partenariat avec NEXO. Environ 250 enceintes sont dispos\u00e9es dans le pavillon, d\u00e9veloppant un syst\u00e8me unique propre \u00e0 chaque salle de l\u2019exposition, s\u2019adaptant \u00e0 la sc\u00e9nographie des lieux et proposant un parcours \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle des espaces partenaires comme \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle de l\u2019exposition.<\/p>

The composition of the content<\/strong>, while customized for each space, had to remain coherent with all other content in the pavilion, following a three-and-a-half-minute structure and a single tempo to ensure the uniqueness of the experience. This did not prevent each space from having its own contrasts and musical personality. Visitors move through an outdoor garden, encounter creations from French fashion workshops, immersive films, and a light show, all accompanied continuously by the Pavilion\u2019s ever-changing melody. Pierrick Pedron (https:\/\/bleubruit.com\/<\/a>) was responsible for composing this sound design on a building-wide scale.<\/p>

The spatialization and mixing of the spaces<\/strong>initially began in IRCAM\u2019s studios. Having designed the speaker systems in advance with the COFREX and NEXO teams, the pavilion spaces were virtualized in the studio to pre-spatialize the sound compositions and work as close to reality as possible in advance. However, it was on-site that theory was confronted with the reality of a building, needing to pulse at the same rhythm while accommodating several thousand visitors per hour.<\/p>

The calibration of each multichannel system, the integration of the sound creations\u2014sometimes interactive\u2014and their mixing had to be carried out with meticulous care to ensure coherence and an enjoyable experience for visitors discovering the exhibition. This overall realization had to be synchronized with every element present in all the original scenographies of the pavilion, aligning with the lights, videos, and interactive sculptures in each partner space. This blending of media, the scenography, and the overall narrative thread were conceived by the pavilion\u2019s artistic director Justine Emard<\/a>, with GSM.<\/p>

For the occasion, Yann and IRCAM developed a specific system to ensure the stable synchronous playback across the pavilion\u2019s 250 speakers of a perfect three-and-a-half-minute loop throughout the six-month exhibition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
