Across three days, these groundbreaking First Nations artists will weave together live, immersive soundscapes that echo with the rhythms of Country and the pulse of memory. Inspired by works like Max Richter’s Sleep, this durational sound performance invites you to settle in, slow down, and surrender to deep listening.
Think: rich layers of violin, electronic textures, field recordings, and real-time improvisation - all unfolding across a space filled with bean bags, couches, and calm.
