TOUCHER - Musique à travers les solides

[Concert]
TOUCHER is an immersive musical performance where sound is experienced through the body. Thanks to a wooden structure that transmits vibrations, everyone can experience music in a different way: through the teeth, the skull and the sense of touch.
OMEDOC wanted to extend the intimate and sincere listening it has been doing for 12 years with a variety of audiences. TOUCHER lets you experience sounds and music through the vibration of matter, through the analogue transmission of sound waves through a wooden structure.
TOUCHER is an instrument, an inclusive listening device that offers a new way of perceiving sounds. The OMEDOC musicians move around the device, inviting different ways of "listening", whether you can hear or not.
