A Liminal Soundbath for the Birds by Alex Somers, Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore
$35-$40
Liminal soundbaths are a way of experiencing music in a live environment where slowing down, focusing on your senses, and being present in the moment are the aim. Bring a mat or towel, find a spot on the grass of Cherry Esplanade, lie back, and soak up the multisensory input.
Inspired by birdsong, the three musicians will pull apart one another’s songs, play with how they unravel, and collage them into new arrangements for this special one-off event. For the artists, soundbaths blur the line between live concert, art installation, and some kind of happening. “Music heals. Sound heals,” says Sigur Rós producer and artist Alex Somers. “Hopefully these shows can move people and they leave in an altered state.”
