Deep Music Listening Experience
Conference
Deep Music Listening Experience
As organisations move towards circularity and regenerative models, technical innovation alone is insufficient. A more profound shift is needed, one that begins within. This experience highlights the transformational power of sound, guiding participants to reimagine how they sense, relate, and lead.
In this immersive listening session, Satya Hinduja will guide participants through an Alchemic Sonic Environment experience, rooted in sonic and breath-based practices, that cultivates embodied awareness and somatic presence. The session includes reflective dialogue to help translate personal expertise into actionable insight, offering tools to embed deep listening into creative programming, team dynamics, and sustainability strategies within festival production.
What to expect
What does it mean to listen to ourselves, to others, and to place?
How can somatic presence influence leadership and decision-making in festivals?
What tools support long-term well-being and sustainability for producers and teams?
Who is this program for?
This workshop is designed for festival organisers, curators, technical directors, and sustainability leads seeking to embed regenerative values into their work.
A collaboration between ADE Green and ASE
This program is part of ADE Green. This program is accessible with either an ADE Green or ADE Pro pass, get yours here.
Alchemic Sonic Environment (ASE) works at the intersection of sound, music, health, and technologies. We design multi-sensory, context-driven experiences that invite introspection, support emotional regulation, and deepen our connection to self and environment. Their work draws from ancient acoustic traditions—such as the harmonic series and planetary tuning systems—and integrates them with cutting-edge spatial audio and vibroacoustic technology. By doing so, we explore how sound may contribute to well-being, resilience, and long-term human flourishing.
