Hollywood Symphonic at La Seine Musicale: an immersive sound experience powered by iDzia

The spectacular concert Hollywood Symphonic, presented at La Seine Musicale, invites audiences on a musical journey through the greatest film scores in cinema history. Produced by Appassionato and under the artistic direction of Mathieu Herzog, the show celebrates the composers who shaped the emotional landscape of the seventh art.

Blending orchestral performance with cinematic imagery, Hollywood Symphonic offers a powerful sensory experience where music and visuals come together to revive some of the most iconic moments of film music. From epic symphonic themes to unforgettable melodies, the concert transports the audience through decades of cinematic memories.

Immersive sound design enhancing the orchestral experience

To match the artistic ambition of this production, the sound design needed to be both precise and immersive. The immersive audio system for this performance was implemented by Thibault Verdron, Technical Director of iDzia and sound engineer specialized in advanced spatial audio technologies.

The system relied on the d&b audiotechnik Soundscape platform, combined with the manufacturer’s CCL series loudspeakers. This configuration allows for highly precise sound spatialization, creating a natural and enveloping listening experience for the audience.

Through the Soundscape technology, each orchestral section can be positioned virtually within the acoustic space. This approach reproduces a natural orchestral sound image, enabling the audience to perceive instruments as if they were physically distributed across the stage.

Such immersive sound systems are particularly suited to symphonic concerts and multimedia performances, where the clarity, depth, and spatial accuracy of sound play a crucial role in delivering emotional impact.

Artistic collaboration serving the music

Led by the Appassionato Orchestra and conducted by Mathieu Herzog, Hollywood Symphonic pays tribute to the composers whose music has shaped some of the most memorable moments in cinema.

Productions of this scale rely on close collaboration between artistic and technical teams. In this context, the expertise of Thibault Verdron and the immersive audio capabilities of iDzia contribute to elevating the performance, ensuring that the audience experiences the full richness and dynamics of the orchestra.

When technology enhances musical emotion

The use of advanced systems such as d&b Soundscape reflects the evolution of sound reinforcement in the performing arts. Today, immersive audio technology goes beyond traditional amplification, allowing engineers to recreate a natural and spatially coherent sound environment.

Through projects like Hollywood Symphonic, iDzia continues to support ambitious artistic productions by providing innovative audio solutions that enhance the connection between music, image, and audience.
