Immersive Listening Experiences

The idea

Flux 360 explored how sound, movement and image can shift how we feel. Created for The Old Market's Feel Good Festival, the session brought these elements together in a shared audiovisual journey, inviting audiences to slow down, tune in and experience sound with their whole body.

The space

Listeners lay at the centre of a 360-degree spatial audio and visual environment. Sound travelled around the room while projections filled the surrounding screens, creating an immersive space that continually shifted around the audience.

The experience

Sekinue opened the session with electric harp, offering a gentle entry into the space. Kiskadee then led the audience through a live sound journey that gradually built in energy, moving from spacious, organic textures into richer layers of rhythm and sound. A dancer performed among the audience in a motion-capture suit, their movements translated into responsive visuals across the screens. Sound, body and image shaped one another in real time, allowing the environment to evolve with the performance.

The sound journey

Kiskadee's performance combined field recordings, organic instrumentation and electronic sound. As the music grew in energy, it travelled through the spatial system while the visuals responded to movement in the room. Waves of rhythm and intensity eventually softened, bringing the audience back towards stillness.

The idea

Created for the summer solstice, Flux Open Air followed the changing light of the longest day. Listeners lay among the flowers and sculptures of Brighton's historic Secret Garden as live music unfolded around them. A summer-inspired set design brought colour and texture into the space, while the open sky and natural sounds of the garden became part of the work itself.

The space

Musicians were positioned at five points around the audience, creating spatial sound through live performance. Music emerged from different parts of the garden, moving between harp, violin, cello, lap steel, gongs and singing bowls. Inside an underground tunnel that once connected the garden to Sussex Square, a separate sound installation invited listeners to explore another part of the garden's history through sound.

The experience

Guests lay back on mats and blankets among the flowers as the first notes carried across the garden at golden hour. With eyes on the open sky, listeners felt the music travel around them — harp and strings in the last of the sun, gongs and bowls deepening as dusk settled over the wall. The garden's own sounds ran through the set: breeze in the leaves, evening birdsong, the sea beyond. As the final sounds thinned to near-silence, the space finished the journey on its own terms.

The sound journey

The journey moved with the setting sun, beginning bright and open before gradually deepening as the light faded. Music travelled between the five live stations, surrounding listeners while remaining connected to the garden. As the final sounds faded, the space returned to its own rhythm — breeze, birdsong and the distant sea.
