LIMINAL
Playable instruments inside empty places.
Pick a space, play a fragile piano melody, and hear it become part of the architecture. Twenty instruments, ten empty buildings, and the quiet hum of lights that never switch off.
Coming 2027Hear when it’s ready
The room is the sound.
A liminal space is still. LIMINAL’s places are steady hums and room tone, rare and distant events, and above all their acoustics: the flutter between hospital walls, the concrete of a parking garage, the bright tiles of an indoor pool.
Every instrument you play takes on the room it is in. Move it to another wing of the mall and it comes back over the PA; in the hotel you hear it through the wall from the next room.
Most instruments play our own recordings; the rest are modelled in real time.

Inside LIMINAL
Ten empty buildings.
Each place reshapes every instrument, has its own room and its own rare sounds, and three Characters that change its light and mood.
Vacant Hospital
A long, cold corridor: mains hum, a ballast buzz and flutter between parallel walls.
- Sterile Silence · After Hours · Something Wrong
Empty Shopping Mall
A vast atrium, an escalator still running, a fountain far off. Or the PA in another wing.
- Closing Time · Forgotten · Endless
Abandoned School
Lockers, a wall clock ticking once a second, boxy corridors.
- After Class · Childhood Memory · Nightmare
Underground Parking Garage
Concrete, ventilation fans, slap-back off the pillars, a car door on another level.
- Vacant · Distant Movement · Pursuit
Abandoned Indoor Pool
Almost silent. Still water, bright tiles and a long, shimmering tail.
- Still Water · Forgotten Summer · Submerged
Empty Hotel
Carpet, an ice machine down the hall, music through the wall from the next room.
- Late Night · Faded Luxury · Room 404
Deserted Subway Station
A tiled platform, the rails still humming, a long echo down the tunnel.
- Last Train · Abandoned · Approaching
Empty Supermarket
Refrigerators cycling on and off under the fluorescent hum.
- Closing Shift · Nostalgia · Fluorescent Nightmare
Endless Office
The fluorescent hum is the room. Carpet, ceiling tiles, partitions that never end.
- After Hours · Dream State · Infinite Cubicles
Impossible Room
A small room with a cathedral’s tail, a hum that drifts, and sudden total silence.
- Familiar · Unstable · Beyond Reality
Twenty instruments
Six slots, each able to play any of them, with its own effects and room.

What it does
Places with real acoustics
Each room has its own decay, reflections, damping and width, so the same melody sounds cold in the hospital, cavernous in the mall and close in the hotel.
Thirty Characters
Three per place, from Sterile Silence to Something Wrong. Each changes the events, the mood and the picture’s colour grade.
Four macros
Presence, Scale, Activity and Unreal: bring the instruments forward, stretch the room, invite rare events, or let the place come apart in its own way.
Far Away
Hear the instruments from elsewhere in the building: over the PA in another wing, or through the wall from the next room.
Scenes A and B, and evolution
Morph between two settings, or let the place drift slowly on its own.
The viewfinder
Photographic scenes fill the window. Their lights flicker with the hum and swell with the notes, with controls on thin strips like an old camcorder.
