David Chalmin - Musicarium (Anima Ex Musica Soundtrack) (2024) [Hi-Res]

The Lympia cultural space showcases the utopian installation of the tout/reste/à/faire collective. Artists Mathieu Desailly, Vincent Gadras, and David Chalmin have created giant insects entirely from fragments of musical instruments. These creatures, resembling real insects, reveal the hidden mechanics of instruments like the harmonium, piano, and accordion.

Each insect carries a unique musical composition inspired by the instruments used in its construction. The sound is played through a hidden system that activates when visitors approach, enhancing the strangeness of the encounter.
