For the occasion of Lōemis festival, Berlin-based artist Lou Drago will host a new listening-occasion, alongside Wellington artist and gong specialist Erika Grant (Orchestra of Spheres). Get comfortable, lie down if you wish, and be enveloped by a carefully constructed live soundscape that unfolds over the course of 2 hours.
