Louis-Olivier Desmarais
PAX @ Habitat sonore, Centre PHI
Listening experience, 2023
Independent production, in collaboration with Paysages and PHI Centre
Paysages presents PAX, an invitation to celebrate listening, meditation and contemplation away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Sound artist Louis-Olivier Desmarais creates an immersive experience born from his stays spent in the silent atmosphere of a Benedictine abbey.
PAX is an invitation to enter into ourselves by listening to what surrounds us.
Habitat sonore, an immersive room located at the PHI Center in Montreal, welcomes PAX in sound version in its winter 2023 programming.
For the occasion, the sound work was remixed to measure for the listening room. It has also been revised and enhanced with an introduction explaining the foundations of the creative process.
