Tickets:
Sunday Specials, with Feeling Sound, are about exploring a new way to rest and relax.
For those who love music, and are curious enough to explore new ways of bettering their mental health in a welcoming, like-minded community: We welcome you!
The specially designed sessions interweave sound therapy, guided meditation and performance….move seamlessly between electronic music, traditional and classical instruments…
On today’s menu:
15:30 – 17:00 Live Electronic Music For Meditation
18:00 – 19:30 Sketch & Sound (separate booking required)
MUSIC FOR MEDITATION:
Ever drifted off at a gig and wondered if that counted as meditation? Turns out your brain was probably in theta…
The default mode network doing exactly what it’s designed to do: Mind wandering into something close to flow state.
Music and Meditation is an experimental approach to live music, a hybrid of live performance and guided meditation. The aim is to create a more immersive gig experience, using music as the object of meditation – with the help of a qualified secular meditation instructor.
This time, we’re delighted to be welcoming Sulk Rooms – a pseudonym of the talented Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale.
By day Thomas writes music for TV documentaries and films — and by night he’s in his homemade studio with his dog Ezra, deep in reel to reels, Ableton and an awe-inspiring collection of synths.
His music draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones.
Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds. Perfect for meditating to! Here’s a link to listen to his work: https://thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/
The meditation for this session will be guided by Feeling Sound’s qualified meditation teacher, Clare Savory, who’s also a musician and sound therapist based in Glossop.
The performance and guided meditation will last approximately 45 minutes, with a brief period before and after for introductions, explainers and feedback.
The Scout Hut sits beside a river, surrounded by trees, birdsong, and (this time of year) ducklings. It’s a cocoon of a venue.
No experience needed. Just lie or sit down, close your eyes, and see where it takes you…
This is a gig like no other. And your nervous system is going to thank you for it.
Why not make a night of it? Pop for a bite to eat in nearby pubs in between sessions, and then return for our sketch and sound event too?! Book both now, before you forget.
