BoostUP Immersive Sound Experience
The BoostUP Immersive Sound Journey is a spatial audio experience that places the audience at the centre of live sound. Participants recline on yoga mats as speakers arranged in a circle create a surround environment. Live musicians positioned around the space, featuring handpan, flute, violin, harp, guitar, gongs, voice, kora, and ambient electronics, weave a cinematic narrative guided by the hero's journey.
Sound moves like waves around the audience, with instruments emerging and dissolving from different directions. This is not a traditional meditation or sound bath; it is a collective journey where listeners feel inside the music, not just beside it. Designed as a signature festival moment, it offers a deeply immersive, story-driven experience that lingers long after the final note.
