About this Event
Stillness Festival | Sound Sanctuary Open House
1,000 Ways to Sit x Gamelatron
🗓️ Thursday, October 9th
⏰ 6:00–9:00pm
Join us for an Open House of the Sound Sanctuary—a gathering to celebrate, connect, and open this living installation through sound, somatics, integrative practices, and presence.
Here, sitting becomes an art form. Whether you choose the floor, a cushion, or one of our carefully selected chairs, each posture offers a different relationship to the sound, the space, and your inner landscape. Each seat is an invitation to sit meaningfully with the self, as many ways as are accessible.
At the center, the GAMELATRON ViaOro — The Way of Gold — pulses: a monumental 10-part sonic kinetic sculpture featuring 44 bronze and steel gongs, keys, and traditional Indonesian instruments. Mounted in a sweeping U-shaped configuration, the work envelops visitors in autonomous compositions that move from barely audible whispers to vast communal resonance.
It listens. It responds. It learns from the collective energy of all who enter this sanctuary.
