Sonic Alchemy



A Multimedia Concert / Sound Bath
at the acoustically awesome
Waldo Theatre, Waldoboro, Maine
February 22, 4:00
Join Sound-Worker Jim Doble, Cellist April Reed-Cox, And Multi instrumentalist and 3rd generation Trumpet player Lady Kiah for an unforgettable deep musical dive into what lies beneath the waves...both oceanic and subconscious.
The first half of the musical performance will feature beautiful and weird undersea video on the big screen, while Ryan Fenelon and his crew provide a gently psychedelic liquid light show filling the whole theater in blues and greens to really take us there.
We will then morph the sound to be more of a Sound Bath, where we will invite you to close your eyes and let the sounds carry you to a deeper state of consciousness.
This performance will feature what is probably the largest collection and
variety of gongs to ever assemble anywhere in Maine.
