Sound Mirror playing a gong on a stage flanked by tall speakers with space-age looking cones in front of a group of people lying down listening. It is an outdoor stage at a festival with a fabric draped canopy surrounded by trees and sunlight.

Low bass frequencies blur the line between hearing and feeling.

A Sound made of visible and invisible layers.

A Sound made of visible and invisible layers.

Like listening through touch.

We can be alone, together.

People are laying down with their eyes close on yoga mats looking relaxed. They are outdoors at a festival. The area is surrounded by trees and dappled sunlight.

People remain different. But

attention
becomes shared.

Sound Mirror is playing sound bath instruments on people laying down on yoga mats looking relaxed. The photograph is sun bleached and obscured by a flash of bright light. They are outdoors at a music festival. In the background are straw bales.

Harmony is not the absence of difference.
Dissonance is not the absence of relationship.

Sound Mirror is playing a gong, holding two wool mallets in front of large speakers. The image is blurred by light and motion.

Sound is a room with no walls and no doors.
