A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: A SUSTAINABLE, GLOBAL MOVEMENT

CHOIR SPACE is not conceived as a self-contained project, but as the spark that will ignite a global, sustainable movement. The three funded initiatives (performance, audio and video) lay the groundwork for the following long-term visions:

A ‘sound space of tranquillity’ travels around the world

CHOIR SPACE is launching a global 24-hour event featuring international choirs: the choral work begins in Basel – and sets off on its journey. From choir to choir, from time zone to time zone, from continent to continent, it is passed on until its voices have circled the globe once. An uninterrupted global arc of sound that, amidst our fast-paced world, opens up a timeless space in which people can pause, gather strength and reconnect with the greater whole.

The invisible choir – a walk-through composition:

Imagine a large, empty factory hall. Visitors wear special headphones that pinpoint their position in the space to the nearest centimetre. Now the visitors walk through the hall, moving through a walk-through composition. They stride through the invisible choir! Through the individual singers, who are positioned virtually in the space exactly as in the original… and can thus experience the composition on a completely new, individual and intuitive level.

The Eternal Chants:

A digital platform on which certified singers from all over the world sing live on CHOIR SPACE! In an endless stream, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Forever. Live. As a symbolic and incredibly powerful, permanent counterpoint to the transience of the modern world.
