Each festival day is a powerful dose of sound affecting not only our ears but our entire bodies. To restore balance, we invite you to experience a kind of sonic reset – a meditative, collective immersion in the sounds of the natural world, while also showcasing the work of Polish field recording artists.

We will create a space for auditory rest – a darkened room free from visual stimuli, where you can relax on comfortable cushions and deck chairs and listen to specially curated field recording sets prepared for Inne Brzmienia by leading representatives of the Polish field recording scene.

Each listening session we offer is a different soundscape. Take a break, reset your ears with Polish field recordings, and tune yourself for the next musical experiences of Inne Brzmienia.

PROGRAMME COMING SOON

Where: Workshops of Culture, Grodzka 5a – auditorium, 2nd floor

How to prepare for your listening session

• Arrive early: Please come at least a few minutes before to choose your listening spot. We’ll have cushions, deck chairs, and blankets available.
• Silence your phone: Turn off your phone’s sounds and avoid using it during the session. The listening room will be darkened, and screen light can disturb others.
• Stay for the duration: If possible, please try not to leave during the session, as it might distract other listeners.
• Give yourself time to adjust: Your mind, accustomed to listening to music, might initially find it challenging to follow subtle, individual sounds. Allow yourself time: close your eyes, relax, and let your hearing guide you through the diversity and variability of the sounds.
• Embrace the auditory experience: Each session offers approximately 35 minutes of sounds without visual stimuli. Consciously forgo visuals and simply listen—listen deeper, wider, and more.
