Deep Listening: A Sound Healing Concert

What is a Healing Sound Concert?
It is said that the crystal bowls and didgeridoo generate both an ambient and visceral vibration experience: you feel the sound surround you while it fills up the entire Music Hall. The duo intentionally produce an “acoustic alchemy” of Pythagorean tunings and musical mathematics that generate unique sound forms and colorful, textured soundscapes. The sonic experience encourages an increased auditory awareness and “deep listening” and induces a relaxed and meditative state.
