Essence: A Deep Listening Experience - presented by Alchemic Sonic Environment

Facilitator: Satya Hinduja (Alchemic Sonic Environment)

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.

What to expect from this experience

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 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, club programmers, A&R representatives, distributors, technical directors, and sustainability leads who want to embed regenerative values into their work. This program is part of ADE Green, and can be accessed with an ADE Pro Pass or ADE Green Day Pass.

About Alchemic Sonic Environment

Alchemic Sonic Environment (ASE) works at the intersection of sound, music, health, and technologies. They 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.
