LE MARÉGRAPHE

Méline Grellier

17th floor of the City Hall Tower

Le Marégraphe is an immersive sound experience capturing the real-time dynamics of the tides in the port of Le Havre.

The work fuses the sounds of waves, the port, ship horns, and footsteps on pebbles, creating a perpetually evolving composition. Each day of the season, the variations of the tides influence the intensity, texture, and tonality of the sounds, offering a unique sensory experience with each listening. Inviting spectators to experience of Le Marégraphe from the 17th floor of the City Hall tower, the artist proposes a dual immersion. A breathtaking 360° view of the city echoes the musical fluctuations of the marine rhythm, highlighting the fragile balance between nature and industry, port and sea, living music and moving landscape.
