This project was designed and approved for Patagonia Eclipse Festival in collaboration with the Synaesthesia Collective, but unfortunately has been put on the backburner due to the pandemic. Synaesthetic Resonance is an interactive sanctuary space that envelops participants in a people-powered soundbath and lightshow. It’s a nature temple, social lounge, and immersive installation designed to bring about play, rest, and connection. This project is also pitched as an art boat to serve as an epicenter for river hangouts during the day, although it can be modified with a lower budget to be on land.

The core interactive elements consist of user-friendly tongue drum instruments, vibrating bass floors, and detailed kinetic lighting engrossing the space. Robotic tongue drums, bells, and musical waterfalls will create an automated soundscape throughout the space. Participants will be able to play the environment as an instrument: all of these features will be programmed to echo tongue drums and midi controllers in the center of the space.
