Helicotrema follows the transformations a sound vibration goes through from its emission to its perception in our brain.

**** The Scotsman (Susan Nickalls)
"Sound itself and the process of how we hear it formed the basis of Julien Lonchamp's Helicotrema. The orchestra beautifully captured this intoxicating soundworld, with its clever mix of harmonics and open strings spinning a shape-shifting aura around pulsating brass."
Hologram (2015, 14 mins)

Hologram plays with the dimensions of sound, juxtaposing and distorting them to suggest higher or hidden dimensions.
