La Marseillaise en mouvement is an interactive sound installation that captures the movements and gestures of visitors and translates them into sound, letting them explore and reconstruct, alone or collectively, sound worlds inspired by the national anthem La Marseillaise.

In this play space, the body becomes a tool for musical interpretation. Movements are captured by a camera and analyzed by a computer that produces various sequences, layers and sound objects. In return, the music incites the body to move, to look for other sounds.

The work consists of 7 "movements" composed by Tom Mays and 6 student composers, using a large number of recorded sounds, in collaboration with classes from the Conservatoire de Strasbourg and the Haute École des Arts du Rhin: pianoforte/harpsichord, a wind orchestra, a children's choir, instrumental improvisers and actors.
A true "collective" work where the audience has the last word.

Each movement is like an interactive piece of music with a distinct sound world and a duration of about 5 minutes each.

Movement 1 : Tom Mays (wind band, harpsichord, actors' voices, children's choir)

Movement 2: Abla Alaoui (synthetic sounds - VCV Rack, improvisation ensemble, wind band and children's choir)

Movement 3: Jad El Khechen (ensemble of improvisers, children's choir, various sounds)

Movement 4: Finbar Hosie (children's choir, cross-synthesis, synthesized voice)

Movement 6 : Ganghyuk Lee (actors' voices, improvisation and children's choir)

Movement 7: Rémy Ternisien (various instruments (sanza; tiahun; clarinet); orchestral sounds; voices (actors); various sound objects; analog and digital synthetic sounds).
