FAQs
-
Yes, completely. Both for the audience and the musicians. A sleep mask is included with your ticket for full immersion.

A secret mix crossing ambient, Scandi, nu-folk, indie & a little experimental. It’s not classical music or jazz, though tiny elements may feature. The best way to describe it is how it feels - profound, raw, cathartic & at times ethereal.
-
There’s a tiny bit of amplified sound as you arrive, and for a couple of moments during the show. But other than that, it is completely acoustic. And it’s definitely not a band. There are c.25 voices and c.25 instruments… and they’re all playing live, around you.
-
A secret ensemble of multi-instrumentalists & singers. You’ll meet them at the end.
-
It couldn’t be further from it. Around 30 musicians are going to be performing live… around, past & through you… and they’re also in total darkness, just like the audience. It’s an extraordinary way of experiencing live music.

what makes this different from anything you've experienced?
•
complete sensory focus - no visual distractions, just pure, live, sound
360-degree immersion - the musicians are positioned… well… everywhere
moving 3D sound - the music isn't static. you are enveloped in music. sometimes you feel & hear a musician right next to you, sometimes a way behind, and sometimes their sound almost passes through you
our secret repertoire - if you're open to the unexpected - and especially to ambient, nu-folk, experimental, Scandi and soundscapes - you'll love it
