Sound Scenography

At Expo 2020 the Luxembourg Pavilion was showcasing different resources of the country, from its richness of nature to its multicultural society. Our sound scenography created a dramaturgical arch throughout the pavilion while it elevated the exhibition into an emotional journey.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Sound Concept

We composed 6 orchestra pieces to underpin the different chapters of the exhibition:From the entrance area up until the highlight movie where the pavilion experience culminates. Each composition is inspired by the topic of the corresponding chapter, like Diversity, Enterprising, or Connectivity.

Even though all the pieces evoke a different ambiance, they were designed to seamlessly blend into each other. Together they build a cohesive sonic experience, one big spatial composition that extends over the entire pavilion.

Scoring for the Luxembourg Pavilion meant nothing less than creating the sonic embodiment of the pioneering spirit of Luxembourg: a country with a diverse community and heritage. Therefore Luxembourg’s great musicians, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra became not only the expressive core element of our sound concept, but an integral part of the experience

Dramaturgy of the sound scenography

Luxembourg's own musicians - the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg (OPL) - became not only the expressive core element in our sound concept, but an integral part of the experience. While the visitors are walking along the physical space, acoustically they are moving through the OPL. This is realised by representing each section of instruments through loudspeakers.
