Glanum Festival, Saint Rémy-de-Provence - 2023
The Festival de Glanum, located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, is a unique event that blends music and history within one of the most impressive ancient sites in the region. From July 20 to 22, 2023, the festival entrusted iDzia with enhancing the sound and technical experience at this iconic venue. This collaboration led to the installation of an entirely new sound system, redefining the way audiences experience music in this historic setting.
The ancient site of Glanum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides an exceptional backdrop for this festival. With its Roman ruins and historical ambiance, it offers a captivating setting for an extraordinary musical experience. However, to ensure the music resonates optimally in this grand space, it's crucial to adopt technical solutions tailored to the venue, particularly for sound. This year, the Festival de Glanum chose to incorporate an innovative system: the Soundscape from d&b audiotechnik.
The Soundscape system by d&b audiotechnik is a cutting-edge spatialized sound technology that revolutionizes the acoustic experience for spectators. Unlike traditional sound systems, Soundscape allows for a fully immersive sound experience by distributing the audio precisely and individually according to the listener’s position. This ensures that each audience member, whether near the stage or farther away, can enjoy clear, balanced sound. The system also enables sound to be manipulated based on the space and environment, creating a more intimate and immersive musical experience.
The installation of this system was carried out by iDzia, who also managed the structure and technical aspects of the festival. Thanks to their expertise, every detail was meticulously planned to guarantee optimal sound quality while preserving the historical integrity of the site. The aim was to create a perfect harmony between modern technology and the ancient surroundings, allowing the magic of music to come alive in this historic venue while providing an unprecedented and unique experience for the audience.
The result of this collaboration was a resounding success. Festival-goers were treated to performances of exceptional sound quality in an extraordinary setting, with acoustics perfectly suited to the grandeur of the site. The Festival de Glanum 2023 will be remembered as an edition that seamlessly blended modernity and heritage, offering an unforgettable sensory experience thanks to the Soundscape technology and iDzia’s expertise.
