A pure sonic experience, set in complete darkness - the Sonic Film is a film that the audience inhabits and experiences with their whole body. Uninhibited by the visual sense with its defined boundaries, this new medium enhances one's physiological experience, vastly expanding possibilities for narrative creation and embodiment. Before each session you will be able to experience a Recalibration by Monom Studios to tune in your senses. This moment will serve to sharpen our attention and in particular our ability to listen more deeply, to listen with the whole body.

In 2016 she co-founded Manchester Collective whose running 21/22 season features residencies at the Southbank, St George’s Bristol and The White Hotel, Salford. The collective gave their magnificent debut proms performance in August 2021 performing works by the likes of Julius Eastman, Dobrinka Tabakova and Edmund Finnis. Alongside her work leading the Collective, Singh has firmly established herself as a violinist and leader of high repute, working for and alongside the likes of Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, Oliver Coates, Eartheater, Clark, Björk, Olivia Chaney and Abel Selaocoe and guest leading ensembles like London Contemporary Orchestra, RLPO, CBSO, Hebrides Ensemble, Sinfonia Cymru. She is a recording artist for Bedroom Community, with whom she has released two albums as curator/director of Manchester Collective and now with her debut composition EP Quarry. As a composer she has written two large-scale pieces with long-time collaborator, electronic producer Vessel, the first of which Written in Fire was premiered at Aldeburgh Festival and the second Paradise Lost commissioned by Manchester Collective. Most recently she produced a film ‘FFAALL’ for the Royal Opera House 8bit digital commissions, working closely with Director Joe Morgan, movement artist Blackhaine and opera singer Mimi Doulton. Born to an English mother and Indian father in rural Wales, Rakhi’s upbringing was influenced by many different cultures and traditions. Andy Aquarius Andy Aquarius is a sonic alchemist and devotee of mystical folklore. Being a multi-instrumentalist and exploring a wide range of genres, he laid out the path ahead with his debut album 'Chapel', which only features his self-built Celtic harp and voice. The record takes you on a 'transcendental journey through the outer realms of ambient, classical, new age, and folk music.' (-Alex Ruder, Hush Hush/KEXP). Andy's live performances are of a peaceful simplicity and thick atmosphere, putting all the intent towards a sincere delivery of his bucolic canticles and meandering instrumentals. ______________________________________________ FAQ What is SPATIAL sound?⁠ Spatial sound is a term to describe the way we have evolved to perceive space through sound - it refers to the way we hear sound naturally in the world around us, in all its complexity and depth. From above, below, around us, through and within us. The perfect spatial sound experience is the one we experience every day. When we refer to spatial sound technology, this is technology that aims to recreate this effect.⁠ ______________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE We advise coming 10 prior to the start of the sessions to enjoy a Recalibration by Monom Studios For a better experience we recommend having cell phones turned off as light can distract from the experience. If you need to leave the room in the middle of the session, please do so in silence. No cash accepted for the tickets, all the tickets are sold only on shotgun. Possibility to buy directly at the beginning of the event on shotgun.
