Espaces Cyclophones


Interactive Sound Installations

Strange sounds resonate...
One wonders, listens closely, approaches...
and then one discovers an unusual arrangement of bicycles, bathtubs, tubes, stethoscopes, and sinks…






The concept of the Cyclophones came about with the first prototype, Vélorgue #1. The objective was to use the body as a source of acoustic energy. With the creation of new machines, the project has grown into a space for mechano-acoustic exploration, inviting the spectators to participate and inciting them to develop their creative potential.

Turn the wheel, sit on the saddle, check out the bearings, derailleur, bathtub…
Scrape, rub, observe, blow-up, fill, empty...
an astonishing Cyclophonic orchestra comes to life.



Espaces Cyclophones is made up of several installations each with its own specificity. They test different mechanical techniques and acoustic devices. To generate sound, air is compressed, water circulated, and electricity produced...


Les Espaces Cyclophones can be set up in gardens, squares, streets, churches, parks, museums, towns... and it adapts wonderfully to the environment and the audience.

The bike...

a symbol of liberty, ecology and autonomy, a universal means of transport present in everyone’s life, a timeless object associated with games, childhood, travel…

The sound...

so volatile, present in the moment, a parallel universe in constant movement, intangible and yet perceptible, it brings people together, conveys ideas, emotions… it reveals past experiences, moods, and opens the doors to a world of creativity...

It seems obvious that these two elements should come together in a project that is interactive, fun and intergenerational.
