Swimming Through a Universe of Sound
An immersive listening experience by the ocean
As the sun sets over the ocean, lie beneath the evening sky and experience sound in a different way. Combining a personal handheld speaker with immersive surround sound, Swimming Through a Universe of Sound invites you to feel sound as well as hear it.
Settle onto your yoga mat, close your eyes, and allow sound to carry you through a world of imagination, wonder and calm. Created by composer and sound artist Corrina Bonshek, this unique 60-minute listening experience invites deep listening, curiosity, and relaxation.
Bring your own yoga mat, pillow and blanket. We provide your personal speaker. No musical knowledge or experience is required.
“Sound and space became one.”
“I felt the vibrations through my whole body. I was feeling the sound rather than just hearing it.”
“It was like floating in a sonic ocean—held by sound.”
Suitable for adults, teens and anyone curious to experience sound in a new way.
