It calls you from afar.

The city buzzes. It whispers or cries, making sounds and noises that form the nameless soundtrack to our lives. What if we added a little fun to the cacophony?

Put down your bag, forget your worries, jump in: hop, tap, sing. PLAY!

Get together, get away, forget that you hit a low, forget that you were missed, forget that you missed the city. Come see your old friends, meet some new ones, surprise yourself by revisiting childhood. SHOUT!

Discover, smile, slap, spin.
Follow me the whole way through, then let’s start all over. AGAIN!

Listen, explore, participate, and the music will ring out.
Glittering lights, dazzling colours, the game begins, you answer me, I respond. SING!

Become an instant musician when Ville orchestre crosses your path. HAVE FUN!

Creative intention

The collective behind Ville orchestre are friends. Mostly artists, partly musicians, wholly creative. The installation is an allegory of the one-man-band. Like the legendary figure of the multi-instrumentalist, the installation is triggered by voices, feet or hands to create a series of distinct tunes across the four-station path.
