Embark on an exclusive multi-sensory sonic voyage beneath Luke Jerram’s breathtaking installation, Mars. Immerse yourself in the experience of quantum listening, and contemplate humanity’s future from a deeply personal, introspective perspective—all while remaining grounded here on Earth.
Drawing from data points gathered from Mars exploration, and co-created by Christina McMaster (pianist and composer) and Tom Middleton (award-winning composer and sensory designer). This spiritual, epic and emotional soundscape of ancient sound healing instruments, acoustic piano and electronic music will let you connect with something beyond yourself.
As you recline on soft, supportive mattresses, you’ll be invited to deeply relax and expand your perception, stimulate your imagination, transcending the bounds of Earth’s gravity and atmosphere.
