Floors of Heaven: Submersive Study 2022

Image
It's dusk at the Boy Charlton and the air is warm and salty. Tucked between the harbour and a stately parade of Moreton Bay Figs, with the sombre grey of naval ships looming across the water, you are floating beneath the surface of your consciousness. Submerge yourself in one of the most stunning outdoor pools in Sydney and discover the sound of the eclectic UK artist, Leon Vynehall; underwater and ambient. Though certified master of the dance floor, Vynehall's creativity is truly let loose when he eschews beats for peaceful sonic tapestries to craft this audio adventure. Bliss out and float towards the floors of heaven as Vynehall's carefully curated, pre-recorded soundscape washes through the pool's underwater speakers. A highly sensory experience, it's as close as you'll get to a meditative state with your mates around. https://upnext.com.au/event/floors-of-heaven-submersive-study-2022 Check out our website https://upnext.com.au/sydney Check out our Vimeo cha...
