Resonation

Mediummatic, 5 days of alternative communication

As part of 'Mediummatic', a series of performances and workshops in the Sleep-Inn which was open for everyone, Mediamatic presented a day full of spirituality, music and... a sleepover!

During the day everyone could visit the ‘Material spiritual installation’ by Kinga Kielczynska and Melanie Bonajo and in the evening there were singing bowls, lullabies and a pantomime concert.

Daytime Program (11am – 5pm)

Sound scapes by Ivan Kadelburg and Mhairi Macfarlane

Sounds unconsciously scaped to create escapades in your conscious mind.
A live multi-channel sound environment in which the sound of everything becomes the sound of everything else.

Panthomime concert by Janneke Raaphorst (8.30pm – 7.45pm)

Tibetan bowls meditation -by Frank Mannens

Every singing bowl has its own character, tone setting and sound color. Through playing with the bowl, a continuous sound is created which resonates vibrating patterns, images and ideas in the listener. Singing bowls have relaxing and healing properties and bring the listener to where they need to be.
