Pipes of Heaven: Qigong and Sonic Meditation
Divine winds blow through each thing so that each can sound itself, and be itself, with no extra effort required. In this workshop, resident philosopher Fan Wu invites us to take "The Pipes of Heaven" chapter of the Zhuangzi into practice, sounding our myriad differences through the principle of wu wei. We will engage in a qigong session led by Jonathan Adjemian followed by a sonic meditation session led by Prince Nifty.
Sound Bath x Emily Murphy / Venus in Foil: A Party at The End of the World
A Party at The End of The World: A micro-rave soundtracked by heady bass and slithering rhythms. A collective mourning and movement through "the heaviness we feel in a world that, we're told, has no future" (Milstein 2017: 7). Dance, sweat, shake and unmake, and maybe find something that resembles hope in the process.
Sound Bath x Alia O’ Brien: Mundana / Humana / Instrumentalis
Via breath filtered through the flute, we will flow through outer and inner sound worlds, from musical reflections of the current planetary configurations to sounds (and quietude) that draws our attention to our own bodily sounds.
Sound Bath x Prince Nifty: In Praise of Dissonance—Part 2 (Vocals)
Journey through an alternate sound bath universe, replete with synthesizers and drones. Let us be immersed in the looping vibrations. In dissonance, may we face and phase out of past and present pain.
