Surrender 1.0 at the Simple Things Festival 2019

Simple Things EXT. 2019 presents ‘Surrender’. The first result of Neil Harrisʼs work as part of the SWCTN Immersion Fellowship programme.⁠ A guided, immersive visual and sound meditation designed to take your mind on a transcending journey. Mixing the cosmic vibrations of singing bowls and gongs along with 360 surrounding visuals all projected on the Planetarium screen.⁠

The work explores placing vibration at the centre of the human experience, allowing the audience to make a connection between themselves and the world around them by showing the vibratory nature of everything from the Planets to atoms.

The gong vibrations were supported through custom designed ambi-sonics utilising 7.1 sound design incorporating low-frequency effects and 180° pulsating visuals across the surface of the dome giving the experience to the audience that the Planetarium itself is vibrating.
