Sonica Dreaming

Sonic Dreaming is three or more improvisational musicians playing on exotic instruments from around the world with the sole intent of having you experience something significant. Something that may give you insight into your personal developmental process. Something that may help you to soothe your jagged nerves. Something that may bring you joy. Something that may reduce your suffering.

Sonic Dreaming asks that you lie back on a blanket or mat and receive the music as it happens around you. The musicians come off stage to surround you and to play over you. It’s like music in 4 dimensions. If you feel the call to move, then by all means groove. If you feel the call to do yoga, meditate, stand, curl up and wail. . . .Sonica Dreaming will incorporate you into its journey.

It’s more than a concert, it’s a seamless and effortless musical journey - like slipping out of reality momentarily only to find you’ve been ‘gone’ for an hour.

Here is a sample slideshow video with some of the audio you can expect to hear at a concert. The audio was recorded in a studio but the theme is the same
