Smartfaust On Air

Smartfaust On Air is an interactive sound spatialisation project using the Smartfaust mobile app. Basically, this app developed by the Grame enables a user to turn his smartphone into a musical instrument that he can play by executing improvised or choreographed gestures. Smartfaust On Air uses this principle and turns it into a performance in the form of "ballet" of flying drones. The drones, attentive to the conductor present at each session, obey his gestures to create an instrumental "choir" via the SmartFaust app. People in the audience, if they have the app on their telephones, are invited to participate in the concert by following the conductor's instructions too: the public therefore become the players of this musical piece, of which no two performances will be alike.

The SmartFaust app is available on Google Play and from the App Store (look for "Smartfaust"). A special Smartfaust On Air version will be available to download during the event.
