MotionComposer Installation

New ways to participate in culture
An interactive space for movement, sound and creativity

The MotionComposer as an interactive installation

What if a public space could offer not only music to listen to, but also music to create? The MotionComposer transforms movement into music, opening up a world of sound that visitors can explore and shape through their own bodies. Movements bring sounds to life, change them and create musical patterns. Patterns of light accompany or highlight these movements, making the interplay of movement, sound and light visible.
An open invitation to experiment, discover and create – no musical experience required.

A space for everyone.

You can dance, walk, roll in a wheelchair, raise your arms or move just one finger. The MotionComposer offers many ways to express yourself through music, according to your own abilities, interests and ways of moving. Everyone can find their own way into the experience: discovering sounds, experimenting with movement, developing their own ideas or creating something together with others. The result is a space where cultural participation becomes tangible and everyone is invited to take an active part.

A new space for cultural participation in the Zentralbibliothek Essen, Germany

On 24 October 2026, the interactive MotionComposer installation was inaugurated at the main library in Essen.
The project brings movement-based music-making into a public cultural space. It shows how a library can become a place where people do not simply experience culture, but actively create it – regardless of their musical background or individual abilities.
The Essen installation demonstrates how the MotionComposer can open up new possibilities for inclusion, creative expression and shared cultural experiences.

A permanent installation, designed around your space

The MotionComposer is conceived as a permanent interactive installation for libraries and other public spaces that want to foster creativity, inclusion and cultural participation. Every space is different. The installation can therefore be adapted to the physical setting and the needs of each institution.

The MotionComposer: a world of sound to explore

Up to 18 sounds drawn from musical instruments, animals and the natural world invite exploration – from calming sounds to more dynamic ones.

With or without the interactive light column

The optional light column adds a visual dimension to the experience. Patterns of light accompany or highlight movements, bringing the interplay of movement, sound and light to life in a new way.

Integrated into existing furniture or with purpose-built furniture

The MotionComposer can be integrated into existing furniture or installed in a purpose-built piece designed specifically for it. This allows the installation to fit naturally into the architecture and character of each space.

Optional: a mobile version

A mobile version extends the experience beyond the permanent installation – for example, through projects in schools, care homes and other social or cultural settings.
