4DSound

Sonic Metamorphosis

Roy Nachum blindfolded himself for a period of seven consecutive days using himself as a conduit, to experience the world without sight. His works are characterized by a series of experiments, often involving unconventional methods. This experiment is what led to create this exhibition and design a listening room in collaboration with 4DSOUND and MONOM STUDIOS. 4DSOUND uses omni-directional sound to render vivid spatial sound holograms with precision and clarity. Here, sound has a physical presence and is the primary means of expression. 4DSOUND has the ability to project sound through controlled position, movement, and interaction.

The only installation in the world of its kind, the large-scale 4DSOUND system is a marvel of auditory engineering, featuring an advanced setup of omnidirectional speakers and vibro-acoustic transducers underneath the floor. Listeners can choose their own journey, to wear blindfolds for a more inward experience, or actively move around the space, chasing the sounds. 

The sonic experience immerses the listener in a living symphony, where the boundaries of classical music dissolve into a modern soundscape. As visitors enter, they are enveloped by the timeless works of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky, reinterpreted through a dynamic layering of harmonies and shifting tones. The delicate whispers of piano give way to powerful orchestral crescendos, while unexpected bursts of electronic sound introduce a tension that redefines the classical experience. This work transforms sound into a physical presence, creating an emotional and immersive encounter with music’s evolving language.

‍MONOM STUDIOS

MONOM is a collective of artists, technologists, studios, and spaces exploring spatial sound as an artistic and experiential medium. From sound art and music to theater, opera, dance, and the immersive realms of virtual and augmented realities, our mission is to provide space and time for anyone who wants to expand the dimensions of their creative practice and to enrich communal and individual experiences of sound and art. Founded in Berlin in 2017, MONOM is the home of the original 4DSOUND system.

Collaborating with over 200 artists, MONOM has become the leading studio in the world for producing and presenting works utilizing this innovative technology. MONOM believes in the potential of this art form to transcend cultural divides through a common language of sound and space. The network serves as a conduit for the exchange of ideas and collaborations worldwide, forging a tightly-knit community founded on the profound act of embodied listening—a practice considered increasingly vital for collective well-being.
