A public art installation

Montreal, Quebec (2023)

After touring the cities of Quebec with Hexaphone, Troublemakers created a second version of the multimedia installation for public spaces, using more robust materials to enable the piece to be placed in new venues and even internationally.

The installation consists of five individual modules arranged in a circle. The sounds of the different instruments are isolated then distributed across the five module. This way, listeners can hear every musician’s contribution separately by walking near each module or hear the entire music mix by standing in the center of the circle.

Hexaphone has an eclectic musical catalog, with artists such as Les Louanges, The Brooks, ​thaïs​, J​orane​ and ​Kids from the Underground​ who have each recorded a song in the studio.

With financial assistance provided by SODEC.

Hexaphone is modular for outdoor and indoor spaces. The musical content is fully customizable. For more information and bookings: info@troublemakers.ca
