The land sound artwork Promenade Sonore : Vent, Soleil, Pluie is a sonic promenade in three parts, imagined and composed by sound artist Nadine Schütz for the public space that is the Pleyel footbridge. Three sculptural sound-generating instruments were created specifically for the three supporting structures, each corresponding to a meteorological element. They create a relaxing landscape ambience that varies the perception of the site's materiality, spatiality and climate. Wind, sun and rain are the musicians.

This land sound artwork results from a close collaboration between the sound architect and composer Nadine Schütz and the architect-engineer Marc Mimram. It proposes a new approach to art and music in public spaces by considering them an integral part of a place-making process. The three sound installations combine mechanical and electro-acoustic as well as pre-recorded and generative components that augment each other, thus exploring composition based on environmental interaction in different ways.
