The HOLOPHONIX processor allows sound designers to mix, reverberate, and spatialize sound elements output from various devices using different spatialization techniques, and to combine these techniques (or algorithms) in real time. The speakers are actually declared as bus ‘virtual outputs’ and processed by the HOLOPHONIX processor using various spatialization techniques, Dominique Bataille explains. The sub-bass reinforcement system is built around two slim ABB 15 speakers, which were initially developed for the Théâtre des Abbesses (hence the ABB acronym).Īround twenty Amadeus MPB 200 B speakers – in place since the previous redesign in 1993 – are sometimes used as a punctual sound source, onstage, in the flies or under the stage, according to projects and creations, enabling spatial illusions we love to imagine and to offer to the theatre audience. The L/C/R front system is made of three new triaxial Amadeus C15 speakers, co-developed with the Théâtre National de Chaillot. They are supplemented by eight Amadeus PMX 5 MKIV speakers that are integrated into the upper ‘arches’ in zenithal position. Ten Amadeus PMX 8 MKII speakers – five on each side along the whole theater floors’ depth – were seamlessly integrated into lateral ‘arches’ of the wooden frame evoking a boat’s overturned hull. The system comprises 23 speakers made by Amadeus plus the HOLOPHONIX spatial sound processor. The main sound system is designed according to a semi-spherical concept to get the best envelopment for spectators and adapted to the geometrical shape of the hall - a parallelepiped - and the technical and aesthetic constraints imposed by the hall. He was deeply involved in the development, mainly to define the main features that were essential to theatrical creation, and their ergonomics. The electro-acoustical system designed by Amadeus and Dominique Bataille is now built around a HOLOPHONIX spatial sound processor, developed by Amadeus, in collaboration with the STMS (Sciences et Technologies de la Musique et du Son), a laboratory founded in 1995 and hosted in the IRCAM premises, association of CNRS, Sorbonne Université, Ministère de la Culture and Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique.ĭominique Bataille was one of the first users, operators, and beta-testers of the HOLOPHONIX processor. Starting in 2009 he began to compose music for the Comédie Française, and he works in parallel with composers Pascal Dusapin, James Dillon, Wolfgang Mitterer, and Oscar Bianchi.

The electro-acoustical system was also completely redesigned too, in close collaboration with the theater’s technical manager Philippe Lagrue, along with Dominique Bataille, a multidisciplinary creator, sound engineer, and composer, who has worked over the few last years at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier. In recent months, the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier underwent an in-depth renovation of its stage infrastructure – mainly flies, scenic networks, etc. The Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier was created according to a ‘drama renovation’ concept, as opposed to the commercial activity of the ‘Grand Boulevard’ theatres on Right Bank of the Seine. Originally created in 1913 by Jacques Copeau, this major French cultural institution was founded in 1680 and has been hosted since 1799 in the Palais-Royal’s Salle Richelieu (Paris’ 1st arrondissement). In 1993 the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier became the second theatre for the Comédie Française. Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier, which became the second theatre of world-famous Comédie Française in 1993, just underwent an in-depth overhaul of its scenographic infrastructure, with a completely redesigned sound system implemented by Amadeus, and built around the HOLOPHONIX spatialization processor.īuilt in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Parisian district, the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier hosts at least four creations each season involving classical or contemporary texts, presented in a series from September to the beginning of July.
