Equinox Sound Journey under the Stars - Armagh Planetarium Dome

A carefully curated Sound for Wellbeing experience, designed for the immersive environment of the planetarium dome.

Taking place close to the Summer Solstice, this experience offers a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect beneath the night sky.

Blending live sound with full-dome cosmic visuals, Sound Journey Under the Stars invites you into a space of rest, stillness, and perspective, where sound, space, and imagery come together to create a deeply immersive and calming environment.

Reclining within the dome, you are guided through a layered soundscape composed and delivered live by Tessa Ann. Voice, resonant instruments, and subtle electronic elements are woven together to support a gentle unfolding of sound and atmosphere.

With minimal guidance, the focus remains on direct experience. Rather than following a fixed narrative, this experience offers an open and reflective space where you can engage in your own way.

Designed to work in harmony with the unique acoustics and visual environment of the dome, this is an opportunity to experience sound and space in a way that is both immersive and restorative.

A moment of spaciousness
An invitation to rest within sound, space, and the night sky

To support your comfort within the dome environment, you may wish to bring:

• A small pillow or neck support
• A blanket for warmth
• Comfortable, layered clothing

The experience takes place in comfortable, fixed reclining seating, allowing you to settle with ease and be fully supported throughout.

If you have any health conditions, mobility considerations, or sensitivities to sound, you are welcome to get in touch in advance.

Sound levels and acoustic conditions may vary within the dome. If you are sensitive to sound, you may wish to bring earplugs for comfort.

This experience may not be suitable during the first trimester of pregnancy. You are welcome to get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
