Sonic Immersion
Facilitated by Sasha Bogdanowitsch
2nd Sundays
7-8pm
Come experience a multi-instrumental Sound Bath with composer-performer Sasha Bogdanowitsch. This full body listening experience will draw from Sasha’s extensive instrument collection of original and global winds, strings and percussion and his background of intensive musical studies of the world’s musics from countries such as India, Indonesia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Sasha will couple this with his unique vocals and electronics to create an ever evolving sonic tapestry that will immerse the listener in resonance and overtones; aiding all in their own sonic journey, relaxation, stress reduction and/ or meditation.
Participants will be free to recline (savasana pose), sit or stand as needed. Some yoga mats and blankets will be available but please bring whatever materials you need to feel warm and relaxed.
The event will last 60 minutes.
Option to stay overnight at WildHeart before or after – come early or stay late. Reach out to us at contact@wildheartcenter.art to confirm your stay.

“Bogdanowitsch makes music like quicksand: it sucks you in slowly, almost against your will, overwhelms you, then brings you out the other side disoriented but grateful.”
– Middletown Press, Mei Tan, Middletown, CT
“Flamboyantly uninhibited Sasha Bogdanowitsch sang melodies with prerecorded overdubs of himself, capturing the rich vocal resonances of barbershop quartet in an equally mystical idiom.”
– The Village Voice, Kyle Gann, New York City, NY
“Mr. Bogdanowitsch sang the melismatic vocal line with chantlike elegance. The pleasant, quietly undulant music is awash with Pacific Rim exotica, but it had a kind of winning authenticity.”
– New York Times, Anthony Tommasini, New York City, NY
