Morning Ritual
Start your day with clarity. This session features instrumental soundscapes designed to awaken the senses without words. It is an introspective yet energizing space to clear the mind and begin with inspiration.
We play the highest quality digital audio available on Apple Music through our Genelec reference system, in Dolby Atmos spatial audio format. An immersive experience that connects you with presence and depth. In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel on headphones.
why Music for 18 Musicians – Steve Reich Ensemble
Music for 18 Musicians is designed for immersive, meditative listening. Imagine sitting in a quiet room with 18 musicians: steady, repetitive rhythms from marimbas and rattles fill the space like a calm heartbeat. Over 55 minutes, these simple patterns layer and shift slowly: clarinets breathe in and out, notes fade or disappear, creating a magical wave that draws you in more deeply, like watching endless ocean ripples turn into something vast yet peaceful. It is joyful, hypnotic music made by 18 performers working as one; just relax, focus on the pulse, and let it wash over you without thinking too much.
